I Am Really Quite Fascinated By Echo-locating

And As I Grew Older, I Then Auditioned For The Royal Academy Of Music In London, And They Said, Well, No, We Won't Accept You, Because We Haven't A Clue - You Know - Of The Future Of A So-called 'deaf' Musician. And I Just Couldn't Quite Accept That.

I Suppose I Don't Hear Things, But I Listen, If You Know What I Mean. And There Is A Big Difference Between Hearing And Listening. So It's Like A Conversation, You Know. When You Speak To Someone, It's One On One, And That's Exactly How I Play.

Music Is About Communication... It Isn't Just Something That Maybe Physically Sounds Good Or Orally Sounds Interesting; It's Something Far, Far Deeper Than That.

I Often Play On The Cello-bass Side Of The Orchestra, Because I Prefer The Deep Sounds. I Can't Hear The Violins Well.

I Like The Sparkle Of The Vibraphone.
