My father was a classical musician and my mother was a writer.
art educational father
My father was invited to play on a television show when I was 17 or 18 that was an early equivalent of educational television, a Sunday afternoon kind of variety art show.

The Jug Band was exactly what I wanted to do, and it wasn't my idea.
successful remember solo
You have to remember now, I was not being terribly successful at going solo.
song style trying
I was wildly out of style when that television theme song suddenly pushed its way onto the Top Ten. It was certainly not the record company trying to make that happen.
It might be thematic work. It might be theatrical. I enjoy that kind of work.
