Ray Bradbury is for many reasons the most influential writer in my life. Throughout our long friendship Ray supplied not only his terrific stories but a grand model of what a writer could be should be and yet rarely is: brilliant and charming and accessible willing to tolerate and to teach happy to inspire but also to be inspired.
My approach is so simple every song I sing every story I tell every move I make must move the audience to laughter tears or inspiration. Otherwise why do it? It's the communication.
