My grandchildren just know me now as Mr. Potato Head.

I was 28 when my father died, and I was an only child.

Alan King, a comedian I adored, was considered society, and I was considered the Jewish kid from the neighborhood.

When I was really little, I listened to Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrel, Crystal Gayle, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, and Patsy Cline.
