:56:06. > :56:10.I'm green with envy because Clarke, you got to meet the legend

:56:11. > :56:22.I did indeed and this cat told me that when he was a child,

:56:23. > :56:25.He didn't know where music came from. What part of the world did

:56:26. > :56:34.this young man come from? I didn't realise human beings played

:56:35. > :56:44.instruments. Who did you think played instruments? I didn't think

:56:45. > :56:50.about it, I wanted to be a dancer. But it's God, divine intervention.

:56:51. > :57:01.You've worked with Disney, Frank, Michael... Iconic composer in the

:57:02. > :57:07.20th century. And teacher. Mostly classical music. She explained it

:57:08. > :57:11.better than I could. She said, working with you jazz musicians

:57:12. > :57:18.whose delicate because you guys shack up with music first and marry

:57:19. > :57:29.it later! LAUGHTER Rishi turned my life around. -- she

:57:30. > :57:36.turned my life around. I'm so proud. She said, I'm going to teach you

:57:37. > :57:44.every genre of music, no type of music scares me. I've played

:57:45. > :57:50.everything. We had so much fun. You started out blowing the wind and

:57:51. > :57:57.wound up composing. You created songs. Would you say your main

:57:58. > :58:09.instrument is the studio? All of it, it's all the same thing. Like a film

:58:10. > :58:18.director... And I have some ... I see music before I hear it. I start

:58:19. > :58:21.out with charcoal water sketches and sketches, then we have the

:58:22. > :58:28.background and all this stuff going and then oil, because oil is

:58:29. > :58:34.permanent. Creativity is going to find its way, no matter what it is.

:58:35. > :58:43.The order of the blank page. When you have a blank page, all you have

:58:44. > :58:48.is God. Learn your science. The right brain is the science, the

:58:49. > :58:51.other is soul and science. Emotion you don't have to rehearse, it comes

:58:52. > :58:58.from God. But science, you have to study that. Looking back on your

:58:59. > :59:07.career, what have you enjoyed the most? Every step, every step,

:59:08. > :59:11.brother. You can't get a A if you can't laugh. You learn from

:59:12. > :59:15.mistakes, the more mistakes you can make, the smarty you get. As long as

:59:16. > :59:22.you don't make the same mistake? Don't make it twice and expect

:59:23. > :59:27.different results! I've made every mistake you can think of and I'm

:59:28. > :59:32.glad of it. Your music has been the backdrop of music to my life. Thank

:59:33. > :59:42.you. Is anything you wish you had written but didn't? No, I've done it

:59:43. > :59:46.all. I've got 20 more years, come on!

:59:47. > :59:49.I tell you, it was an absolute honour to meet his brother.

:59:50. > :59:52.He's 83 years old, and like he said he's going to live

:59:53. > :59:59.It's so amazing to see you both together.

:00:00. > :00:06.I loved what he said about learning from mistakes. He is as lit up with

:00:07. > :00:07.the love about the music than he was.

:00:08. > :00:10.We'll be seeing all those wonderful artists

:00:11. > :00:13.from the first half performing some of Quincy's own greatest hits
