People Are The Most Fascinating Mysteries I've

My Mother Says I Was Two-and-a-half When I Started Playing. My Father Was A Minister, And When He Went To Church In The Morning, She Would Put On Fats Waller, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole And Cole Porter Records. I'd Crawl Up On The Piano Stool, Sit On A Phone Book And Play.

I'm Very At Home Working With Mythology.

People Think I'm Nuts Because I Can Sit In A Room And Be Happy By Myself.

If All I Can Say Is I'm Not In This Swamp, I'm Not In This Swamp Then There Is Not A Rope In Front Of Me And There Is Not An Alligator Behind Me And There Is Not A Girl Sitting At The Edge Eating A Hot Dog And If I Believe That, Then Dying Would Be The Only Answer Because Then Death Couldn't Come And Say Peachy To Me Anymore And After All She Has A Brother Who Believes In Hope.

I've Never Felt Anything That Moves Me As Much As My Piano. I'm An Emotional Player. I Don't Really Like People. I Prefer My Piano To People. It's Totally Reliable And It's Alive. I Can Hear What It's Saying.
