Soln The Music Biz By PEGGY LEE A group of junior college stu dents have just asked me to give them a formula for getting ahead in the music business. That's about the toughest ques tion I've ever had posed, because I never really thought of it as be ing a formula at all. I just knew what I wanted to do and I kept on trying to do it. Good breaks don't always come right away and sometimes you have to wait a long time and work your way through all kinds of trouble before they happen. Once, back in North Dakota; I worked days in a bakery and sang evenings at a club. The monay I made at the club wasn't even pin money, and Lhe bakery paid just enough to guarantee three meals a day. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I was one one of the best darn workers they had in that bakery. The manager couldn't understand why I want ed to sing for a living when I could turn out more bread in a day than most people he had. At any rate, he was an understanding guy and forgave me when I turned drowsy toward the end of a shift. Of course, one of the best breaks I got was when I met, fell in love with and married the right guy. That's the most im portant thing in life for me, and the fact that David Barbour felt the same way about music that I did just worked out right for the career. David noti only has been a won derful inspiration for me. but also has given me the best advice and help I could get. Of course, we have lots of fun working together writing songs and figuring out new arrangements. When you come right down to it, I guess the best formula is simply to keep working for the one thing you want, and to re member to have a lot of fun do ing it at the same time. Then, even if you can't reach the goal you at least have had a life full of pileasure doing the kind of work you love. PEGGY LEE At U. S. C.
