One day, when I was STILL living at home, a FRIEND told 'Texas' Jean Valli about me. She was originally from Syracuse, N.Y., and lived in New Jersey but sang country. One night, she had me COME up on stage where she was PERFORMING. I sang 'My Mother's Eyes,' and she was knocked out.

You GET to a certain AGE where you prepare yourself for happiness. SOMETIMES you never remember to actually get happy.

REMEMBER who you are and where you COME from; OTHERWISE, you don't KNOW where you are GOING.

No MATTER where we COME from or where we're going, we've all got memories to contend with, and it's always best not to do this ALONE!
