I Did All Kinds Of Things In

My Mother's Background Was Scottish. She Came From An Old Family, Some Of Whom Lived In Upper New York State And Some Of Whom Had Come Over From Scotland.

The Greater The Emotional Intensity, The Greater The Simplicity.

My Purpose Is To Create Music Not For Snobs, But For All People, Music Which Is Beautiful And Healing. To Attempt What Old Chinese Painters Called 'spirit Resonance' In Melody And Sound.

I Did All Kinds Of Things In Order To Earn A Living.

It's Hard For Me To Think Of Others Because I'm Not Particularly In Sympathy With The Music Of This Century.
