THAT SHAPED WHO YOU’VE BECOME.
WELL ACTUALLY, IT WAS REALLY
EXCITING. I MEAN, BACK IN THE

PORCH AND UNDER THE STREET
LIGHT. AND I GAVE US THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BACKGROUND THE
FIRST SONG FOOLING LOVE. AND

ROAD WITH HIM AS I GET, AND SO I
TOOK, THE OPPORTUNITY WENT ON
THE ROAD, AND IT’S BEEN SINGING
EVER SINCE. I MEAN OTHER THAN MY
COOKING. WELCOME TO SWEETIE PIES

GOING TO DO NEXT? I MEAN, NOW
I’M TRYING TO BE THE OLDEST
PERSON TO GET A GRAMMY. SO I WAS
LIKE, WELL, I’VE BEEN AT THE

YOU FAIL AT IT. IT’S NOT A WORD.
NOT A THING IS SPELLING. BUT IF
IT DOESN’T WORK AT THAT TIME,

THINK OF WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO
DO IN YOUR LIFE. NOW AT MY AGE
OF 81, I’M DOING WHAT I WANT TO
DO. SO I MEAN, TOMORROW TODAY IS
SINGING TOMORROW. IT MIGHT BE
SOMETHING ELSE BUT GO FOR YOUR
GOALS. WHATEVER IT IS, NOBODY
CAN ACHIEVE THEM FOR YOU. BUT
