I spent most of my 20s playing music. I was in a band, and we worked really hard and did not get very far.
I honestly don't think you're taken seriously until you're 30. Any ideas I've ever taken to the BBC, they've told me I wasn't ready for it.
In 1969, I was playing guitar in several rock bands that toured central Florida.
When I work fourteen hours a day, seven days a week, I get lucky.
Really, I've been working forever, just doing music, and then all of a sudden, out of the blue, everybody is just on it.
My entire style of playing was built around somebody else playing guitar with me, a story that, on its own, sounds unfinished.
I didn't even start playing the piano until I was about 13 or 14. I guess I must have had a little talent or whatever-you-call-it, but I practised regularly, and that's what counts.
You feel this pressure that people will take you more seriously if you play guitar, but I've decided I'm a singer and that's enough.
I always dreamed of playing music with my father. But my voice is so scratchy, I only sing in the shower.
