Q: “How did you learn [music] Barry? Where did you get started at it?”

A: “I think it all started ... it probably started, we were so young when we learned music. You see, I feel sort of bad when I see all these twenty-some year olds and thirty-some year olds trying to learn about jazz. When we learned about jazz, we were below teenagers. You know, we were eleven, twelve, you know, thirteen.”
