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.

I'm not too fond of changing things into waltzes, but sometimes that works.

I'm trying to get the record that I made at my birthday party last year, trying to get that out, and the lawyers are diddling around with it and it probably won't be out until next year. I don't know.

The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.

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

I need to get up and walk around and keep my knees from getting bad, which is what's happening.
