I remember starting out and covering songs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to write songs that were as good as the covers.
Record covers helped me discover a lot of music that I wasn't aware of.
I actually started singing those songs six or seven years ago, when I was an opening act for Frank Sinatra.
I remember a couple of instrumental albums, just don't ask the names.
I hadn't been a recording artist all that long when albums came on the scene, and I was one of the first singers to point the way to how varied an album's contents could be.
Most people remember me for a couple of tunes.
My shows are always a mix of songs from all my albums with some rocking covers thrown in for fun.
In high school, I played in a Rush cover band.
People shout out for songs and I don't even remember writing them.
I remember when I was in my late teens just getting rid of lots of records, realizing I only ever listened to them when I was reading, or watching TV, or doing something else.
