Music has pretty much taken over my life. I told my dad I wanted to play in a band and make lots of money. He told me I should get out of my fantasy world because it was a million-to-one chance.

I played for my first church service when I was nine years old. I was sufficiently tall to be able to reach the pedals.

I graduated to a Hammond organ a few years later when we went to another church, and then in high school came one of the loves of my life, the pipe organ. The sound of the pipe organ still gives me a thrill, whether soft strings or drowning out the orchestra as in Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra.
