I remember in 37 when trolley cars were so big in New York. It was five cents for a ride... There used to be open-air buses, and you could go up a spiral staircase and sit up on top. Those were great, great days.

I had simply been inspired by Arthur Godfrey (40's) and Ukulele Ike and Cliff Edwards (20's). In there day, they were huge in this country. I bought Godfrey's book "You Too Can Learn To Play Ukulele" and taught myself. It's a very romantic instrument. You can take it on a canoe.

I hope I dont give music a bad name.

Believe it or not, Id love to go to the moon.

Be content to be what you are; shiny stones and silver bangles only make you look what you really are.

I'd love to see Christ come back to crush the spirit of hate and make men put down their guns. I'd also like just one more hit single.

Death is never polite, even when we expect it.
