When I was around them, they'd ask if we had any of that Louisiana music. You've got the some of the best music in the world right here in Louisiana.

I didn't really like rock-'n'-roll that much -- I was more into the funky music. But then I love all good music. I even enjoy Beethoven.

Deejays weren't crazy about that song. But a week later they called us and said we have a No. 1 hit.

I then figured 'Why not?. I've got everything I want.

I knew we were cutting hits when we did the album. It's Barbra Streisand we're talking about, so I knew it was good stuff.

Barry's wife, Linda, had the table set with china, crystal and elegant silverware, but I saw it and told her that just wouldn't work. So I asked if they had any newspaper, and she just poured the crawfish all over that elegant table.
