Duke Ellington is my choice for many reasons. Nobody has written so many great pieces of music, which are everlasting, and he has made them available to the world through his orchestrations of his work in a unique way. Lastly, he was himself a fine pianist. He covers the entire musical spectrum with his genius.

So if I think of something in my head I don't have to do it. If I can't do I don't do it, I do something else.

Sometimes go around with guys who are scuffling -- for awhile. But usually they end up marrying some cat with a factory. This is the way world ends, not with a whim but a banker.

I'd just as soon be on a good Steinway or Yamaha just as well.

The key of D is daffodil yellow, B major is maroon, and B flat is blue.

I would really hate to have e-mail. It's bad enough with all the mail I get.

As long as I can still be on my own and do my own thing and be working full time, it's great.
