To Be Young, Gifted And Black!

I Can't Stand Loud Guitars That Make Me Deaf.

That's A Very High Goal To Have, Study Eight Hours A Day To Be A Concert Pianist.

When I Choose Material For An Album All These Songs I Grew Up With Pour Into My Head.

I Believe The Time Will Come When The Whole Definition Of Pop Music Will Change. It Will Get To The Point Where A Song Will Not Be A Good Song Until It Has A High Level Of Creativity In Writing And Performance. In Other Words, In Order To Be Popular, Songs Will Have To Meet These High Standards.

By The Time I Was Eight I Was Taking Classical Piano Lessons And I Wanted To Be A Concert Pianist. But That Didn't Work Out. I Graduated From High School And My Formal Education Ended.
