No. Because they knew that's what I wanted to do. That's all I wanted to do. I never wanted to do anything else. I'm not proud of it. And people shouldn't do what I'm saying, but I didn't graduate high school because I spent all my time in the Paramount Theater when the new bands were coming. It was like empty in the school. I was one. I was the leader of empty. And it was an interesting thing because when we went to the Paramount Theater, we gave one guy 55 cents in the morning. And it was, you had Don Baker at the organ, a sing-a-long, a bouncing ball, Fox Movietone News, the movie and then the band. And it could be Tommy Dorsey and Frank Sinatra and the Nicholas Brothers or Charlie Barnet. And I'd sit there and say when am I going to do that? When am I going to do that? And the first time I did it with Buddy Rich, when the pit went up, I looked down  and saw where I sat. I looked right there, and I went like this, I says thank you. I says I made it.
