Below is a photo copy of an article from England, when I was Thirteen years old.  I was shocked that everybody wanted to compare me to Eddie at such a young age.  Promoters were trying to get me to tour England after only playing six months or so.  It was very intimidating and just didn't feel right.  During these early years I wanted to develop more of my own style and preferences.  I didn't want our relationship to be all that opened the door for me.  I needed to have some success on my own.  It wasn't until many years later that I was able to publicly embrace our relationship.  For years I didn't allow my relationship to Eddie to be mentioned in my biography, although I was always very proud of that relationship!  Eddie was one of my Greatest influences, and still is!
