I try to write relevant songs about life and whatever I'm going through and whatever people are going through.
My first record came out in 1961 and then I had one come out in 1962 and then I had two that came out in 1964.
Chris was a friend of mine, I loved him. I didn't see him for 18 months before he died, but I'd met him several times after the accident. What was remarkable was his personal growth in his interior life.
