In this business, you're as good as your last hit record, and mine was more than 26 years ago.

Night after night in the '50s, I traveled all over New York City. The promoter had 10 acts, and the winner each night would get five dollars; second place would get three dollars, and third place would get two dollars. He always put the best acts on last so the people wouldn't walk out, and the worst acts went on first. He always put me on first.

As long as you're recording and they pay the fee, it's like a lottery ticket. You never stop trying.
