But when I finished school, I didnt realize, and it was just, "Boy, what did I do? What did I accomplish? What did I learn? " I realized that I hadnt learned anything. I said, "Well, gee, I dont think I can go home now," so I moved to New York. And after I moved to New York, I was just like everybody else, you know, just barely paying the rent. Its kind of interesting, because Im basically kind of shy--I think it comes up from my upbringing--so I had somebody come in from the other side, and I knew who they are, who he is, or most of the men, the players. Id say, Oh, I dont think he knows me, and if he says hi, I think I might say hi. " You know, something like that, never.... So when I moved to New York, I decided that I was going to push myself to say "hello," you know. So theres Birdland ... and when I moved I was staying in a hotel called Hotel Bryant.
