I Can Remember In The Early 60s

I Think I Turned To Writing Really Just To Wake Up In The Morning And Be A Musician And To Have Something To Do, And Feel Like A Musician Every Day Even If I Wasn't Working.

And That's What Got Me To The Piano, That's What Got Me Up In The Morning: A Blank Piece Of Paper And A Hope To Have Something By The End Of The Day.

I Don't Know Any Other Lifestyle. I Get Up In The Morning And I Really Do Feel That The World Is My Oyster, And I Start That Way, The Same As I Would If I Were Preparing To Write A Song: Put A Blank Piece Of Paper Up On The Piano And You Go For It.

It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To.

You Know, The Interesting Thing About Having Traveled Around The Country As Much As I Have, And I Think It's Sort Of Inadvertently What Made Me Come Out Or At Least Begin Doing Things Within The Community And Thinking More About That, Was That I Get To Travel Quite A Bit.
