“I always wanted to see the places that I had read about – places like France,Africa,England.I remember the palm trees in Los Angeles.When we moved there,from Gary,my brothers and I had never seen a real palm tree before,only on television.I enjoy visiting lots of places like Buckingham Palace,because I can write reports about them.But wherever I travel, whether it’s Chicago,Mexico City or Manilla,I love meeting the children.Really, they are no different from kids in United States.I remember when we performed in Tokyo,Japan.The kids couldn’t understand our language,but they certainly understood our music.
