Every time he sat down,
he never wasted a minute.
:05:05
And it was always either drawing
or writing poetry...
:05:08
or reading. He was a great reader.
:05:11
And he sang himself to sleep every night.
:05:14
And then when I was 16...
:05:15
I re-established a relationship
with my mother for about four years.
:05:18
She taught me music.
She first of all taught me the banjo...
:05:21
and, from that, I progressed to guitar.
:05:23
And then, unfortunately, she was run over
by an off-duty policeman...
:05:26
who was drunk at the time.
:05:32
I lost her twice. Once as a 5-year-old
when I was moved in with my auntie...
:05:36
and once again when I was
re-establishing a relationship with her.
:05:39
That was really a hard time for me...
:05:41
and it just absolutely made me
very, very bitter.
:05:44
The underlying chip on my shoulder
I had as a youth was really big then.
:05:48
It was very traumatic for me.
