When I was little I thought the sound made by playing a xylophone -those big concert ones - was really someone playing a tune on a lamp-post......why I don't know.

When I was five, I was in a car accident and needed stitches in my head. They wrapped me in a sheet and covered my face. Because of that childhood song.."they wrap you up in a big white sheet... I was sure they were going to bury me alive. My mother said they could hear me screaming "I'm not dead" all over the hospital.
