Lawrence Osborne Zitate

My parents were decent, aspirant first-generation middle class. They read 'Reader's Digest', listened to classical music; my grandparents had a bust of Stalin on the mantelpiece. The kids of that generation were terrified of being below par, class-wise.

Meine Eltern waren anständige, aufstrebende Mittelschichten der ersten Generation. Sie lasen 'Reader's Digest' und hörten klassische Musik. Meine Großeltern hatten eine Stalin-Büste auf dem Kaminsims. Die Kinder dieser Generation hatten Angst, in Klassenstufe unterdurchschnittlich zu sein.

When I started music, I started out in Puerto Rico with classical music. But what really made me want to be a musician was jazz, and because I didn't grow up with jazz, I had to learn it from a very basic level. I had to go into the history and learn everything about the development of the music, all the players and all that stuff.

Me, who's educated classically, I went toward rock music 'cause it was sort of a natural evolution from where I was playing with my brother. But I was always drawn back into classical music.

Both parents were very encouraging - especially my father. My father thought the sun rose and set with me. Neither one had a musical background or any musical talent. They liked classical music, but neither could carry a tune.
