Epigraph

You write in the morning, you write at night. You write in a taxi, in the bathtub, or in an elevator. And after the song is all finished it may turn out to be very bad, but you sharpen your pencil and try again. A professional songwrite has his mind on his job all the time.
Irving Berlin

Dedication

To my parents
Gertrude and Barnet Jasen
and to my wife Susan
and son Raymond
for giving me love and happiness
