I Have A European Frame Of Mind

To Sing A Song Is Like Whispering To A Child's Ear. It Is An Art Heavily Relying On Improvisation.

If You Could Have The Arms Of Hercules, Legs As Swift As The Wind. If You Could Leap Shoulder High Above The Rim, Have The Kick Of A Dolphin, The Reflexes Of A Cat. If You Could Have All These, You Would Have The Body, You Would Have The Tools. But You Would Not Have Greatness Until You Understand That The Strongest Muscle Is The Heart. To Me, That's The Soul Of The Olympic Games.

I Was A Daredevil Before, And After I Lost My Sight I Was The Same. I Loved Riding Bikes, Scooters And Horses. I Even Learned To Box. Muhammad Ali Is My Hero.

When A Little More Than A Teenager, I Was A Piano-bar Pianist In The Land Where I Was Born And Raised, Tuscany.

Some Of Us Are Born With A Weakness For Music. As A Baby, Music Would Stop Whatever Thought I Was Having. If I Was Worried, It Would Stop Me Worrying; If I Was Crying, It Would Stop Me Crying. Music Was A Healing Thing For Me.
