For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.
There were nine children in my father's family and eight in my mother's. My grandparents did the best with what they had. After the Depression, they were scratching out a living and working hard. They kept the family going.
It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.
