New Orleans Is My Essence, My Soul,

I'm A Big Fan Of [frank] Sinatra, He Was The Best At What He Did. The Last Thing I Do Is Model My Career After Him, Though, Because We Do Different Things. He Was A Great Singer And A Great Actor ... It Never Crossed My Mind To Emulate His Career, Because We Have Different Interests.

I'm A Natural Piano Player. So All The Practicing I Do At This Point Is In My Head. If I Don't Play For A Year, My Chops Aren't Going To Get Any Worse. I've Spent My Time Playing Scales, And I Don't Necessarily Want To Play Any Faster Than I Play. So Everything I Do At This Point Is More Philosophical.

Life Is Really Like That: There Are Certain Things That Are Wonderful And Certain Things That Are Not So Wonderful And What You Are Going To Do About It. With Grace And With Dignity, Move Through Them. Deal With Them.

Let's Kick The Tires And Light The Fires, Big Daddy.

Many People In And Out Of Showbiz Live Their Lives In Different Ways. I Try To Be The Best I Can Be.
