"Brooklyn in the 60's..you were either a hitter or a rocker..the guys carried knives I carried a saxophone and a guitar...Music is an outlet whether you are 5, 55 or 95.. and if you are performing it I think it is the most powerful thing..there is nothing more visceral than singing or playing an instrument and communicating..it is like breathing"
