As Far As I'm Concerned,

I Have Lots Of Cds That Came Out At One Time Or Another, And According To The Statements I've Gotten, No One's Buying Them.i Figured There's No Need Making A New Cd. There Are Plenty Of Mine Out There, And None Of Them Are Selling.

I Finally Decided If I Was Going To Make A Living, I Was Gonna Have To Come To New York.

If It's Worth Remembering, I'll Remember It. If Something Keeps Coming Back, If I Keep Thinking Of That Phrase, If I See Manifestations Of It At Different Times And Different Places, Then I Feel It's Worth Making A Song Out Of.

So I'm In My 51st Year Of Playin' Mostly Nightclubs. I Do Some Concerts.

My Main Influences Have Always Been The Classic Jazz Players Who Sang, Like Louis Armstrong And Nat King Cole And Jack Teagarden.
