My earliest memories are at the Blue Note here in New York or backstage at different theatres or different clubs, dressing rooms.
You want to be the guy to carry the Stanley Cup around and leave the game on a high note. As we all know that rarely happens.
I used to blame myself for a lot of things, and I apologise loads. I don’t do it any more, but when I was in the studio – and it was my song – I’d say ‘sorry’ every time I got a note wrong.
First of all, it’s important to note that the federal government doesn’t have the authority to take anybody off of any voter rolls. The states are in control of each of their voter rolls in the 50 states.
As a little kid, I used to lock myself in my room and put on my Whitney Houston CD’s and pretend to be her and try and hit every single note that she hit. I used to dream that one day that would be me.
I always like to talk about how important space is. Art is in the spaces. Anybody can sing a note; it takes an artist to sing the spaces. Anybody can paint a brushstroke; it takes an artist to know when not to put the brushstroke.
As you suggested I have in the following disputed certain passages, trusting you will do me the justice either to modify the same or add a note in the new edition stating that I dispute,’ etc.

I started on a very high note and I was alwasy able to choose. I want to be able to do that until my last breath. And to do that, you have to have money.
I’ve learnt that the muse is like an angry girlfriend. If she comes knocking you better be home because if you’re not, she doesn’t leave a note saying pick up after 3 P. M. from the post office. The gift she had is gone forever.
Public employee unions, in their defense, say politicians have unfairly made them into simplistic bogeymen, responsible for problems that have myriad causes. Not all government workers receive generous pensions, they note.
I would get records by Earl Scruggs… I would tune my banjo down and I’d pick out the songs note by note. Learned how to play that way. I persevered. There was a book written by Pete Seeger, who showed you some basic strumming and some basic picking… And I kind of worked out my own style of playing.
It seems the more I play Jane Austen, the more poetic my writing becomes. The other day, I left a Post-it note for my husband that had the word ‘ergo’ on it. I gotta rein it in before I get all full out Madonnannoying.
I know that all good things must come to an end and I’ve had an incredible ride. I just want to end it on the right note.
