I was kind of known as a ballad singer. People would send ballads. Some of them would go over my shoulder and float off the top of my head, and I just didn't feel anything. Then I would hear a song that would absolutely shake me. ↗

Jazz radio is not very friendly to pop singers who decide to make a jazz record. But a lot of people have been. A lot of the people I've talked to like the record. ↗

Singers like her, Patti, Tina Turner, I revere them when I'm in their presence. ↗

Being a singer now I have to get all fussy... I must have my ginger and lemon and all that. ↗

I always wanted a guitar. I always wanted to be a cowboy singer because I also listened to Hank Williams, and he would always sing these neat romantic songs. ↗

Country artists, I met a lot of them when I was five, six years old. I had an uncle who was a country and western singer and I met Lefty Frizzell when I was five or six years old in those shows that would come through Toronto from Nashville. ↗

I think it gets boring (for the audience) for the lead singer to have a guitar hanging on them all the time. ↗
