Over and over I marvel at the blessings of my life: Each year has grown better than the last.
If you put all your strength and faith and vigor into a job and try to do the best you can, the money will come.
One time I introduced my orchestra as the Shampoo Music Makers instead of the Champagne Music Makers.
I realized some of the pitfalls of being well-known; it was nice if you were successful, but it made it just that much harder to take when you failed.
The William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh... was the place where Champagne Music was born.
One thing all stage mothers share is an overpowering ambition for their daughters.
