We Protect Aspirin Bottles In This Country

My Family Was Musical On Both Sides. My Father’s Family Had A Famous Flautist And A Classical Pianist. My Mother Won A Contest To Be Shirley Temple’s Double — She Was The Diva Of The Family. At 8, I Learned How To Play Guitar. I Used To Play Songs From The ‘20s, ‘30s And ‘40s In The Kitchen For My Grandmother.

It's A Universal Story, It's An Immigrant Story, And It's A Love Story. In The United States, If You Believe In Yourself And You're Determined And Persevere, You're Going To Succeed.

I Wrote These Two Songs ["coming Out Of The Dark" And "always Tomorrow"] As A Celebration Of Hope. And I Want To Send It Out To All Of Those People Who Are Suffering Through This Terrible Disaster [hurricane Katrina], And Please Know That You Are Not Alone - And You Will Not Be.

My Guitar And Singing Was My Way Of Crying.
