Three Wishes

Baroness de Koenigswarter presented Eddie Thompson with the inquiry of three wishes and he responded by telling her:

1. “I wish I could jump off the Brooklyn Bridge and make it! You want a serious wish? I wish I could make a record album I’d be satisfied with.”
2. “Oh God, this is hellishly difficult! I wish I could live like a millionaire. I don’t want to be one. I want to live like one.”
3. “I hope I’ll still be playing when I’m a hundred.”
