Three Wishes
When asked what his three wishes would be, Chuck Wayne answered with:
-
-
“The funny part is, I really… you know, frankly? I can’t think of any! Because frankly, I like things the way they are. I really don’t want to be rich, I love my wife, I have wonderful children, and I have a certain amount of security, which is substantial enough for me. I really don’t care for anything else. Between music and my wife and kids’ love, life is pretty good as it is. There are so few other things that count. Would a million dollars help me play a good chorus? Or give me more to the one I love?”
