I picked up a harmonica and taught myself.

Music was in the air when I was growing up. My siblings Katy, Dave and Phil were musical; my dad worked in inner-city New York where a musical revolution was taking place - folk music, rock n' roll, gospel music. My sister taught me to sing. My brothers taught me to play.

I used to play the trombone and the trumpet, which I still have, but I haven't picked up for a long time.

He taught himself Russian, Give me a break.

The harmonica is a great instrument.

I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
