00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.833
(quiet orchestra music)

2
00:00:00.833 --> 00:00:03.400
<v ->I have been very fortunate.</v>

3
00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:07.360
I was in music all my life, and I sang in my church choir,

4
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:08.430
and all of that.

5
00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:12.050
They had a concert with a girl's school nearby,

6
00:00:12.050 --> 00:00:15.060
and there was a pretty girl in that group,

7
00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:18.770
and we were together for 75 years.

8
00:00:18.770 --> 00:00:21.038
My father liked music.

9
00:00:21.038 --> 00:00:22.820
Music was at home.

10
00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:27.480
He would listen to the New York Philharmonic on the radio,

11
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.133
and he had the radio, was sitting out in the hall,

12
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:35.270
and he knew that I had come out of my bedroom

13
00:00:35.270 --> 00:00:39.970
and was sitting there listening to it, but he let me stay.

14
00:00:39.970 --> 00:00:44.420
One of the things with music, if you've got good direction,

15
00:00:44.420 --> 00:00:46.730
and we have very good direction here,

16
00:00:46.730 --> 00:00:51.320
when you have sung something, and you come down to the end,

17
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.453
and then it's an Amen, 500 people,

18
00:00:57.660 --> 00:00:59.020
and then it breaks.

19
00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:00.290
Ain't that nice?

20
00:01:00.290 --> 00:01:04.410
I've experienced that many times. (laughs)

21
00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:07.177
Those are the high spots of the day, you know.
