When It Comes To Musicians, I'm Like

Ry Cooder For Me Is A Master, A Great Master That Has A Wonderful Feel For Cuban Music. He's Also Paid Tribute My Talent A Bit, Even Though I Don't Know Half Of What He Knows.

Every Time I Talk About This, I Say: When The Singer Is Singing, He Must Be Respected, You Must Be Able To Hear What He's Saying. You Can't Put A Trombone And A Drum Up There, And A Microphone On The Drum, Microphones On Everybody. You Can't Hear What He's Saying.

In Order To Grow Old, You Have To Experience Everything, But In Moderation.

I Am Still Simple, Just As If I Were Beginning.

I Don't Sit In The Corner Waiting For Death: Death Has To Pursue Me. I'm Going Strong. I Hope To Reach 100 And Ask For An Extension, Just Like My Grandmother Did.
