Q: “Where did you learn all the tunes? You do know lots of good old tunes..”

A: “When I was a kid at home, yeah, and I don't know. The reason … that takes me back … the reason I don't learn some of the contemporary tunes is because you learn them from the radio, I used to. And hearing bands and singers and now, with the rock tunes and pop tunes, I only hear them ... most people hear them in the car like the new records and stuff. I don't drive, my wife drives at the cape she has to, yeah. But somehow we don't put the radio on, unless there is a ballgame on.”
