I would listen to something on the radio and try to tap out the melody, then the harmonies.
I have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly.
My father had left behind an old piano. My sister was already going to school, my mother was out working, and I stayed at home alone with my adorable grandmother who understood nothing I said. It was so boring that I stayed at the piano all day long, and that saved my life.
The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.
