At the same time, I'm taking an hour with him in my lesson.

And my parents stood there and said, well, let us think about it.
And I said, no, I want to do it.
And so we decided then and there that I would take the bus to Hollywood, California, to Merle Johnson's studio at the corner of Melrose and Western and begin to study with Merle.

Music finds you.
Your job is to prepare for it.
Your job is to practice exactly what I tell you to practice, exactly how I tell you
to practice exactly for how long I tell you to practice.
And there's no ifs, ands, or buts about that.
