The very fact that when I asked you to describe the first word that came out, where she was narcissistic, suggests that you feel that you maybe paid a price for that, but at the same time, you clearly adored her.

Or how did the three of you fit into the family mix with this tension between your parents?

How did you get into music so young?

She was a tap dancer.

Yes.

All of that.

Absolutely.

And people like Fred Astaire were her heroes.

That's that generation.

Ginger Rogers.

Well, of course.
