i hadn't been to my house in a while. i had to work there. bruce said, why don't you come down to my house? i'll tape it for you. so we did. >> larry: for fun? >> yeah. so went to his house and spent, you know, an evening singing every song we really liked. and quietly. because when there's no audience you're not performing your part of the music. you know, you can really experiment and do things. and bruce said, well, you're a real jazzer. i said, well, i know some jazz, i don't know if i'm a real jazzer. he said, your choice. anyway, we recorded this thing -- >> larry: how long ago was this? >> 20 years. >> larry: 20 years? >> 20 years ago. wait, there's much more. 20 years ago that happened. then he called about a year and

a half ago or so and said, guess what i found? i didn't know. he said, i found the songs that you recorded with billy. i thought, oh, what? i said, oh, i'd love to hear them. it was so private and intimate and funny, wasn't it? he said, yes. why don't you listen to it again? maybe it can be an album. i said, no, that can't happen. you know, i was singing just for us. i didn't -- nobody would be interested. he said, oh, i think some people would be interested. so we kind of re-did what we had and kept a couple of the old songs. >> larry: did it in the sound studio, right? >> no, i did it in my bedroom. i'm telling you, half in the piano room and half in my bedroom, because i was about to

have knee surgery. and the pain before you go in is immense. and the pain coming out of it is immense. so i needed to have something to do to look forward to. and that's how it happened. we just -- we recorded it. >> larry: now, are you surprised that this is now the result? that you're on a tour, that this is a major new cd? >> yes, i am. i'm surprised people like it. >> larry: it's terrific. there are songs in here like "you fascinate me." "remind me he's a tramp." there are some songs people may not have heard. -- some of your old favorites. including the title song. >> somehow the song came up and she must have played it for him. or something. because i really do remember it. and i think i was only, like,

10. i didn't know what it meant then. now i do. >> larry: do you ever sing it on stage? >> oh, yeah. all the time. >> larry: so you decided to put it right in -- you sang it at bruce's house that day, too? >> no, that's one of the new ones we recorded. can i sing you a little bit? >> larry: yeah, go ahead. ♪ i never kissed a man before now isn't that a shame ♪ ♪ i never kissed a man before before i knew his name ♪ ♪ i never had a taste for wine now isn't that a sin ♪ ♪ i've never had a taste for wine for wine can't compare with gin ♪ ♪ it's nice as nice can be ♪ to know that vice can be its own reward ♪
