IN THE DREAM AND WAS REASSURING ME SAYING, "IT'S GOING TO BE OK.

JUST LET IT BE."

HE WAS A MUSICIAN.

HE PLAYED PIANO.

>> James: YOU WOULD GO IN HERE AND SAY, "DAD WE THINK WE HAVE A

SONG."

>> LISTEN YOU WANT TO HEAR A SONG?

HE GOES, FINE.

THEN WE START SINGING, AND HE LISTENED TO THE WHOLE SONG AND

HE SAID, "IT'S VERY NICE, BUT SON, THERE'S ENOUGH OF THESE

AMERICANISMS AROUND.
