I listen to everything, I listen to all artists that come along.

And then I went into television; and then television moved from the East Coast to Hollywood.

I listen to everything.

I worked with practically everybody in the business in all of the years in NBC, but I worked personally many years with people like Crosby and Sinatra, so of course that was a great ground school for me.

I grew up on film scores and scores from films.

Well, I worked with lots of different artists, of course.

I started off as a studio pianist in Hollywood.
