I'm Sorry That I Did Not Become

I Demand Perfection In What I Do, And I Practice Very Hard Before I Give A Concert-sometimes Three To Six Hours A Day.

As I Got Older Though I Wanted A Life Of My Own. The Classical Training Was Very Demanding And Thorough. It Was A Very Sheltered Existence. Even Though I Heard Blues And Gospel On The Radio Sometimes, It Was Always Back To The Piano And Study And Give Recitals.

Many Times I Feel Different Like A Different Person.

I Had Spent Many Years Pursuing Excellence, Because That Is What Classical Music Is All About... Now It Was Dedicated To Freedom, And That Was Far More Important.

I Feel What They Feel. And People Who Listen To Me Know That, And It Makes Them Feel Like They're Not Alone.
