born burst elvis felt musical sexual singing sullivan though time watching
My own musical ambitions were born when I was five, watching the Ed Sullivan Show on TV. When Elvis Presley burst on to the screen, singing 'Don't Be Cruel,' I felt my first sexual thrill, though I didn't know what it was at the time.
I think like a man but have the emotions of a woman, and that's really dangerous.
art hearts leave
I would like to live forever in people's hearts and minds; that would be fun. I'll leave the world my art.
age although barrier definitely flash imagine improved life looking maybe playing
Age isn't a barrier to playing the bass, and I've definitely improved over the years, although maybe I'm not as flash as I once was. But looking back, I can't imagine a life without a guitar.
bass meant pick playing plenty using
The golden rule for playing the bass is that's it all about feel, not just plonking away. You need to feel the sound, not using a pick or a plectrum - which has meant plenty of calluses on my fingers.
writing piano guitar
I read and write classical piano and percussion, also guitar.
europe australia japan
I am busy touring all over Europe, Japan, and Australia.
respect thinking artist
As far as more recognition goes, I am happy with the amount of love and respect I have received from other artists and the public. Of course, I would love more, and think I deserve it.
crazy book writing
My feet never touched the ground. Lots of good groups with crazy and unique images. It was wild. I spent all of my time doing gigs, TV appearances, interviews, or recording. I could write a book -- and probably will.
moving years names
After moving to England I did some recording and eventually formed an English band, this was together for quite a few years with only a keyboard replacement. The band had no name, just my name.
brother piano world
I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world.
love family happiness
Love is the best part of life
rock-and-roll play rocks
Rock and roll mainly but I can play passable jazz also.
