And James was even reported saying, the guy had sort of pinned me to the wall and was glistening with maniacal sweat and talking some freak speak about what he was going to do and stuff with how John was interested and he was going to get in touch with John Lennon.

I studied cello when I was a kid. My parents thought it would be good for... There were five of us. So I got the cello and I played for about four years badly, reluctantly. I was a bad student and it never gave me the kind of feedback that I needed to have it take off and have its own momentum, its own reason to continue. But all along, I noticed that the guitar was going to be it for me.

And I finally prevailed on my folks. We lived in North Carolina. My mother would bring little groups of us up on the train to Manhattan to expose us to something other than trees. And we... Was it art or music or... Yeah, it was the shows that she took you to? Museums and shows. Yeah. And the city itself.

You know, my folks loved the Rodgers and Hammerstein, Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, My Fair Lady in South Pacific and Oklahoma, and some light classics and some folk music, too. And of course, I loved Elvis, and I loved the Beatles, and I loved Ray Charles. When I was exposed to those things, that's sort of the second tier of stuff I was exposed to.

That amazed me too and it just opened my eyes and I wanted to explore that music and I wanted to sing it, I wanted to play it. But I was 12 when I got a guitar here in Manhattan at Schermer's. Really? The Schermer Music Company. So you drove up with your mother to... Well, we took the train up and I think it was my mom and my dad on that trip. And we went to Schermer's and found a guitar.

I saw the Fender Electrics, the shape, the amazing finish of them, the way they looked, the chrome, the mother of toilet seat. But they wouldn't go for it. So it was a classic guitar. And immediately, I got, I'll show you what the first thing I ever played on it was. Simple, but... It spoke to me, and it just immediately started making sounds that I wanted to hear more of.

I don't know what happened to that damn cello. It's got to be around somewhere. I hope someone's playing it.
