Three Wishes

The night Oliver Jackson gave up his three wishes he was caught off guard, however, to the Baroness he replied:

1. That’s a hell of a question! Well, I think the first thing would be… It may sound corny, but, compatibility of all people in the world.”
2. “Then I have got to go to my own self – to my health.”
3. “And then I’d have to say spontaneous music! I think that’s be everything. I’d started to put some money in there – I never have enough of that – but a lot of people have money and still don’t have what they really want..”

Carmell Jones and the Baroness Pannonica were talking one night and she asked him if he was given three wishes what would he ask for. His reply was:

1. “I would like, first of all, to be at peace with myself, you know? And that would enable me to be at peace with my instrument.”
2. “That I wouldn’t have to worry about money and all that it takes to make a living, but that I would be able to look – be free to look – for something other than money. A spiritual thing, you know?”
3. “I’d like to have a home. A home is very important for me, because a home is where you make up everything you want to do.”
