To sing with Frank Sinatra in any capacity at all is overwhelming.

Singing with Aaron Neville, he pulled stuff out of my voice I never could have gotten, because if he's providing XYZ, I have to put in ABC, and usually I don't have to put in ABC.

The thing I like about singing duets is that I get things out of my voice I never get singing by myself.

I am a believer in discipline; it takes a lot to do well. You need discipline for those little excursions into the chaotic that make life interesting.
