“I
decided to write marvelous lyrics for a friend's
marvelous music, songs that I hoped one day would
be played, heard, and celebrated by countless thousands. " --

From
time to time over the years, questions have frequently
been asked of me–questions for which I have no
ready answers: What is your hobby? What are you going
to be when you grow up?
Have
you ever run into a teacher at the movie theater?
It seems odd, surreal. You know perfectly well
your teacher has an existence outside the classroom,
but at the same time, it’s so far beyond
your ken that experiencing it is almost unreal.
