CNE MINUTE INTERVIEW RICHARD BONELLI "It has been my personal experience that most successful musi 1 cal careers come the hard way. By the hard way I mean unlimited attention to detail while practicing, years of instruction under competent teachers and an ability to take it if you’re not a smashing success your first three or four j years before the public.
