But I always loved songs with great lyrics.
Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.
The first time I went to New York, I met Alan Freed.
In early '57, I bought a Fender Telecaster.
