Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.

I started to play Jazz music in my early teens. A boyfriend brought records over, so I listened to everything

Nowadays it seems to me nobody takes trouble about anything, especially writing songs.

So I have a friend who works for me once a week. She's got e-mail, so anybody that must send an e-mail, they send it to her and she faxes it to me. Sounds like a long way of doing things, but it works for me.

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.

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

By the way, I got a Grammy, which was a big thrill.
