I've Done A Lot Of Things Away

Every Time I Talk About This, I Say: When The Singer Is Singing, He Must Be Respected, You Must Be Able To Hear What He's Saying. You Can't Put A Trombone And A Drum Up There, And A Microphone On The Drum, Microphones On Everybody. You Can't Hear What He's Saying.

Ry Cooder For Me Is A Master, A Great Master That Has A Wonderful Feel For Cuban Music. He's Also Paid Tribute My Talent A Bit, Even Though I Don't Know Half Of What He Knows.

Young People Don't Want To Be Second To Anyone. Everyone Wants To Be An Overnight Star. Look How Many Years I Had To Wait, How Many Roads I Had To Travel, How Many Songs I Had To Sing. And Now I'm Just Beginning, Never Ending.

I'll Only Stop Singing When I'm In My Grave.

I Don't Sit In The Corner Waiting For Death: Death Has To Pursue Me. I'm Going Strong. I Hope To Reach 100 And Ask For An Extension, Just Like My Grandmother Did.
