• Read to your children all of the time
  Novels and nursery rhymes
  Autobiographies, even the newspaper
  It doesn't mater; it's quality time
  Because once upon a time
  We grew up on stories in the voices in which they were told
  We need words to hold us and the world to behold us
  For us to truly know our souls

• I only know two cats in this business that really had it all; Elvis was one of those guys, the other was Ricky Nelson. There was a difference in those two guys though. Elvis moved...Ricky never had to; he stood flat footed and captivated his audience with his good looks. We grew up with him; those who didn't missed something. History books are gonna have to say that he played a big role in Rock 'n' Roll music.... and he did it his way.
