• It's always good to revisit the past — to know where we are today.

• I grew up in a condition where I could have chosen to go either way — negatively or postively — and so I kind of chose to go positive — and that stayed with me through my life — always have to have a positive outlook on whatever situation there is — and so it comes out in my music.

• Our concept of when someone cross over — we don't say they "pass away", we say "cross over", they just go to the other side of existence, there's no such thing as death — and then they go out there and they vibrate for however many days before they go to a higher height. But Toots, the way Toots lived his life, I'm sure his soul got to move on. The soul can reincarnate from 24 to 24,000 times, it depends how you lived your life. But with Toots, I can't see Toots coming back to this planet. He's evolved. He's completed his task that he has to do on this planet. <br /> His spirit will always be resonating with us … His soul will always be resonating with us and the people who loved his music.

• Many rivers to cross <br /> But I can't seem to find my way over<br /> Wandering I am lost<br /> As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

• Many rivers to cross<br /> And it's only my will that keeps me alive<br /> I've been licked, washed up for years<br /> And I merely survive because of my pride

• And this loneliness won't leave me alone<br /> It's such a drag to be on your own<br /> My woman left me and she didn't say why<br /> Well I guess, I have to cry
