For a while, I think in 1994, it got to where I didn't want to practice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There were times I wouldn't come to practice, because it didn't excite me. It wasn't interesting. I was kind of going through the motions.
It was June 4, 1979, the first time I went on stage. I didn't know I could do it but I knew I couldn't not do it. I quit everything in my life and this was the one thing I couldn't quit.
Up to nineteen seventy six when I quit gymnastics I was very, disappointed because I didn't have anything which is, live with. I didn't have a friend so I didn't have a coach anymore.
I had no musical training at all.
I was deep in the zone of practicing almost constantly.
I've never liked having like a set kind of schedule of training. Even when I was doing guitar lessons, I never used to practice.
I was a workhorse; there was never a practice that I didn't enjoy.
I don't think I went a year or so without a record between 1959 and 1979, sometimes two.
Well, I never really practiced because I never had the opportunity to practice.
I hadn't been practicing or playing or anything. But that had been a vital part of my life.
