And my twin brother, yes.

Yeah, Mobile, though, when I was growing up there, I was just, I needed to get out.

It was awful.

It felt repressive, and I just knew I needed to be, the second I discovered there was a New York, I knew I had to be there.

And so most of my childhood, I was in Mobile, but I was, in my imagination, I was in New York, or I was on a TV screen, or I was on a movie screen, or I was on a Broadway stage.

Um...

I always had – there was always music in my head, which is such a wonderful gift.

And so I just – from the second I was walking, I was dancing.

And I was dancing – I danced everywhere.

And it just kind of like –

It just took me away.

It took me away from like, because for me, when I dance, there was the music, but then there was like a character.

There was a person that I could play.

So I was like in a character and then I was, it would be a new setting.

And so like all the times we would be at the supermarket in the grocery store, I just loved pushing the grocery cart and then dancing with the grocery cart as if it was like a partner.

No, darling.

The music groove is in the heart.

A Walkman.

This is like, I mean, I was five years old.

It would have been 1972, 1977.
