When I Was Very Young I Was

I Grew Up Thinking That Singing Was My Security.

My Friends Gave Me The First Songs Which Was The First Food In My Soul For Me.

I Left The Table Where There Were Important People And Had Lunch With My Husband And A Few Friends. The Reception Was Organised In My Honour, So It Was Rather Amusing.

Once I Was Condemned To Three Months' Absolute Silence. As I Could Not Speak, I Wrote A Book.

For My Convalescence, I Had To Exercise My Voice Only With Vowels. It Is A Medical Rule After A Long Loss Of Voice.
