When I Was A Kid A Growing

I Saw Ronnie Hawkins Play Near My Hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, And I Saw Him Play There On New Year's Eve And The Following Spring I Booked Myself To Be His Opening Act On Maybe Five Shows, And He Hired Me After The First Night.

Getting Older, I Realize I've Had A Very Fortunate Life. I've Had A Budget That's Allowed Me To Do Just About Any Silly Little Thing The Mind Could Conjure Up, And I'm Still Alive And Here.

My First Payback To Society In Life, Was The Dolphin Project.

I Grew Up Not Far From Where Motown Was Founded, Maybe 300 Miles From Detroit And I've Always Liked - I Used To Like The Way They Made Records. I Still Do, I Just Haven't Had A Chance To Hear As Much. They Used To Entertain Me.

After Convincing Myself That Was Maybe You Should At Least Help Out Your Neighborhood, I Really Started To Think About It Later On In Life.
