 I used to perform all the time but I haven't performed in New York in a very long time. |
| We're doing a workshop over the first two weeks of December, I believe, with Graciella Daniele directing it. |
| I decided during my teens that I wasn't going to have the life of a concert pianist, much to the chagrin of a lot of people who had put a lot of money into me! |
| Since I was the solo artist as well as the writer for the songs, I figured I had enough credits on it already. |
| I'm lucky to be in a profession where you can keep getting better. |
| Someone skipped on the rent and they left behind a huge upright piano, which got moved into our apartment so the other apartment could get rented out. I took to it and started playing. |
| I have a bunch of albums I would love to get re-released. |
| My background was in performing originally. |
| When I was four years old, my mother owned some tenements in the Bronx. |
| So I went into jazz and performed in jazz clubs all over the country. |
| To put it in musician's terms, my chops are good. |
| I'm trying to get hold of them... the trouble is a lot of the companies that recorded and produced the albums went bust, so I don't know where to get the masters. |
