I had the pleasure of seeing the “Just Imagine” John Lennon show, based at Planet Hollywood. I was the most animated person in the room. This was about a Beatle, this is John Lennon music. How can people sit still?

I have a student who asked me what kind of money a singer can make. It is a very tough question.It is all over the board. I will start with my life and my career, but many people do better, or not nearly as well.

I always thought you had to be a great singer to make it in this crazy business. Perhaps that is because when I grew up in the 50′s and 60′s, there were few bad singers
