And So It's Inescapable And People Who

I've Been Essentially Not Only Deconstructing And Reconstructing The Material To Make It Suitable For The Performance, But I've Gone Back And Found Some Older Material That's Appropriate For The Show And I've Re-recorded That As Well In Kind Of A Newer Format. So I've Been Pretty Much Focused On My Own Thing.

Look Upon Yourself Only With Compassion.

Artists Should Re-emphasize Performance And De-emphasize Recording. You Always Make More Money If You Have A Healthy Performing Life Than You Will If You Have Even A Moderately Healthy Recording Life. Don't Make Recording The Most Important Thing You Do. Make Performing The Most Important Thing You Do, And Then You Can Make Recordings And Sell Them At Your Shows, Because Record Labels Aren't Going To Be Around To Help You Get On The Radio Stations, And The Radio Stations Probably Aren't Going To Play You Anyway.

You Would Have Thought That As You Got Older The Voice Would Tend To Deteriorate In Some Ways, But I Always Look At Somebody Like Tony Bennett, Who Is My Senior, And Still Can Hit Those High Notes And Still Can Belt It Out As Good As He Ever Did. So It Must Be Something About The Voice That's Unlike The Rest Of The Muscles In Your Body.

Everyone Has Been A Witness Sometime - It Doesn't Change It If You Don't Believe.
