Highlights: overcame trumpet career- stopping 'stutter' in 1970. 'Instrument reflects his inner feelings'. Most artists insecure. As an introvert he never cared for notoriety. Discovered and recorded Carpenters on his A and M Records. Used Phil.Spector's engineer Larry Levine/almost overlooked 'Close to You' for long time -finally recorded with Karen and Wrecking crew. Loves being in the moment with his music and art away from news . .. How Tijuana bullfights inspired him, thus Lonely Bull first big hit. Authenticity is key. Also 50 years married to Lani Hall of Brazil 66 who he calls his 'angel'. Learned to look at life from his wife's point of few as well as his own 'as men are from mars, women from venus. 'love is a feeling.'
