“ I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great. ”

Learning to read music in Braille & play by ear helped me develop a [very] good memory.
I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me - like food or water.
My music had roots which I'd dug up from my own childhood, musical roots buried in the darkest soil.
