lines want tape
So its mix and match. Hold your line when you really feel something youre saying is wonderful and you really want to get this point across and prove it to your partner by just throwing it into the tape and letting it speak for itself.
song records demand
I would start seeing, in just the sense I was saying now, the kind of record it was going to be and what the arrangement demands, and what my vocal part should be in the record. This was all emerging as the song was emerging.
radio stuff kind
I'm the kind of person who can hear that stuff. If you sing along to the radio and you're not going to sing unison with the melody, but find the harmony, I find that pretty easy to do.
years way lasts
Records became much cruder in the last 20 years. Let's put it that way.
dry records bigs
Records have images. There are wet records and dry records. And big records.
mean people radio
Rodgers and Hammerstein didn't mean anything to me. I just wanted to have a hit, I just wanted to be like those people on the radio. It was all of a case of the present tense with no projecting into the future, particularly.

ice-cream joy cherries
Monterey was the Maraschino cherry on top of the Sundae that was the '60s. It was totally unprecedented, and the audience was unprecedented in their joy.
new-york differences mind
New York, you got money on your mind. And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference, so here's to you New York.
night light
They say in the darkest night there is a light beyond
gratitude prayer
Yes, I like that word. "More" is a prayer to God, isn't it? Gratitude and plea, all in one.
feelings balance tricks
I have the feeling that in a balanced life one should die penniless. The trick is dismantling.
