I Like The Sparkle Of The Vibraphone.

And As I Grew Older, I Then Auditioned For The Royal Academy Of Music In London, And They Said, Well, No, We Won't Accept You, Because We Haven't A Clue - You Know - Of The Future Of A So-called 'deaf' Musician. And I Just Couldn't Quite Accept That.

I Suppose I Don't Hear Things, But I Listen, If You Know What I Mean. And There Is A Big Difference Between Hearing And Listening. So It's Like A Conversation, You Know. When You Speak To Someone, It's One On One, And That's Exactly How I Play.

I Love Out-of-the-way, Rugged Places. For Me, Holidays Are About The Experiences, And The People, And The Memories, Rather Than Sitting On A Nice Beach Getting Tanned. I Try To Plant Myself Where I Am And Embrace What Is There In Front Of Me.

I Walk Into A Kids' Store, And It's Amazing, The Types Of Instruments - Little Squeaky Things, Rattling Things, Spinning Tops.

I Hope The Seeds I Have Sown Will Be Taken Up By Those Who Will Follow Me Because The Journey I Have Begun Cannot Be Undertaken In Isolation.
