But I am pleased to see young people today enjoying Gershwin, Berlin, Porter and all the great big band music. I always ask this question. There is nothing else that I could have done and been satisfied. For whatever I am today, music is no doubt the main reason. I cannot think of a more wonderful life than to live through music.
Every woman knows what that means.
Probably I would have loved to have been the world's greatest bass player but regrets, heavens no. I am driven in every aspect of my life and I work at it every minute of my day. When it is all over and done, I plan to get to heaven and say, I am here because all my parts are worn out. I always ask this question, too. Thanks to my 6th grade music teacher Miss Alice Reed as well, who made every kid play an instrument.
