Yes, I was going to law school and it was closed in '69.

But, when I was about thirteen, I began to sort of sing in my neighborhood.

Every band had their own distinctive sound, but it was pretty much dancing music and rhythmic music with a tremendous emphasis on copying the Cuban models.

I was a kid, and I remember my mother singing. She was also a radio soap opera actress, but my mother sang.

Everyone comes back. It makes no difference how far we wander, we always have our country, our land, in our souls and our minds.

And music was a very important part of our lives. The radio was on all day.

Anywhere you had a commerce center, you had a lot of music.
