I Been Getting Good Crowds.

You Always Want To Write The Perfect Song. But No One Will Ever Write The Perfect Song, I Guess. I Would Just Like To Write On That Has All The Elements Of What I'm Tring To Do. And I'm Working On It. I'm Always Working On It.

[the Producer Told Me:] "we Can Try One More Record, And We'll See How That One Does." Those Records Never Did Anything. My Music Never Got Mentioned. My Color Got Mentioned.

I Started Going To A Piano Teacher At 5 Years Old, But Pretty Soon I Started Picking Things Out On My Own And Stopped Taking Music Lessons. I Never Could Read Music Very Well, But I've Still Been Doing It.

I Don't Sit Down To Write A Song; They Just Come To Me From Something That Somebody Says, Or Something In The News. The Punchline Comes To Me, And I Go Over It In My Head And Get The Song Form. I Hadn't Been Doing That A Lot.

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