While living in California he was friends with Marlon Brando. On one occasion he and Brando attended a drive in movie together with Brando's wife and children.

Early in my career, I figured out how to 'hit notes' - you know, to color them properly, to play the right chords. And I hit them pretty well, you know. But now I know precisely what to do with them. I can bring them down, down, down. And I can still be true to the rendition when I do it.
