Do they take another shift at work, so they can pay for piano lessons for their kids...even though it means they have to stop volunteering for the PTA?

I came out of the hotel and this 16-year-old-boy asked me to sign his copy of my Six Wives of Henry VIII album.

When you hear something for the first time, it's new.'
