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

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

Boy, I'm just quietly doing my thing, and I hope they'll look around and get my record out.

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

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.

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

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