And as I grew older, I then auditioned for the Royal Academy of Music in London, and they said, well, no, we won't accept you, because we haven't a clue - you know - of the future of a so-called 'deaf' musician. And I just couldn't quite accept that.
I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark.
I like New York. There are similarities with London that make it feel rather like home, but at the same time it's slightly fictional.
