´´This is....this is a song I started to write about three years
ago....and I finished it in Europe, uh....there´s certain things that....that
everybody seems to mark their, mark their lives by...I can remember where I
was when I....when somebody called me up on the phone and told me that Elvis
Presley had died....so....here´s a song, this is a song for Elvis, this
is called ´Bye Bye Johnny´....”
07.08.81 Largo, MD, intro to ´Two Hearts´
‘‘I remember....I used to.....watch my old man sit by himself every
night in the kitchen ....and I never remember him having any, any friends come
by the house....or anybody that he could talk to when I was growing up and we
couldn’t talk to each other at the time....and it just seemed like he
turned....turned into a ghost sitting there every night .....but....it’s
like....when you write a song....if you keep it up in your room or if I just,
when I sit sometimes and try to write, that song ain’t any good until
somebody hears it, till you bring it out....so....that makes two hearts better
than one.....”
