Junior was more than a cousin to me, he was a brother — we grew up in the same famous family... (and regarding his obvious musical talent) There wasn't an instrument he didn't try to play. He initially loved drums, but my aunt, his mother Tina, insisted he take down the drum kit after each rehearsal — this prompted him to turn to keyboards
