I grew up in Marin County north of San Francisco, and in the 1950s and '60s it was a natural paradise.

I don't tap dance, and I don't think you can learn to tap dance in three weeks at my ripe old age.

I know my choices will be creative so long as I follow my heart.

You only go from nowhere to everywhere once. Let's enjoy it!

Back in the day you wanted your albums to have a theme, and 'Sports' theme was really a collection of singles. It was really a record for its time.

I came to love, I came into my own.
