I want!
I want too many things that keep me from my art. I want my Broadway shows, my Roseland, my Fillmore, My Beacon Theater, my Carnegie hall, my Lincoln Center and all the live bands on the lower East side. I want Peter Lugar's, City Island Restaurants, Suzy's Chinese on Bleeker street; I want Tequilla Sunrise with their 120 varieties of tequilla, I want the Potato Republic and I want a Two Booths slice of pizza. I want to drive to a casino sometimes, play the slots, put some money on a roulette number, play a few games of blackjack or Texas hold'em, roll them dice a few times and blow the smoke of a fat cigar into my cognac snifter.

I also have a house and I have 2 cars. But I do not have enough time! And I am running out of cash.

I wish!
I wish I could leave all these behind. I am 62 years old and there is a possibility that I am closer to the end than I am to the beginning. I do not have an urgent need to leave a legacy behind me; I just wish I could write a few more songs, tell a few more tales, have a few
