And your father being a singer, the kind of music he enjoyed was of the period?

So how did you get into music?

Because you were playing the piano as a prodigy, age five.

I mean, how did you get into music?

On this piano?

Yes.

Not having played before?

That's right.

So you sat down at this console piano that had cost $500 in this empty living room, and you found a gift, right?

When your father bought this piano, did your older brother or sister play it?

So he just bought this almost as a thing to have.

And how did you get a teacher then?

And did you learn to play other people's piece of music?

Because this is stuff you're improvising yourself.

Yes.

So did you then have formal teaching?

Have you explored this and how this phenomenon occurs?

Because it's most unusual.

So in your explanation of it, in an early incarnation, you were somebody who could play the piano, and that gift returned as part and parcel of your time this time around.

And this phenomenon of being able to play, did it make you a strange child where you put on show because you could do this?
