She taught herself from the latest Beatles music book. The first song she learned was I Wanna Hold Your Hand. In 1965, she and her best friend put together the first all female rock band on Staten Island called The Starliters.

Story behind the song
You gotta accept that it's time to move on!
Lyrics
I got your picture taped to my mirror I keep it there so I won't forget Thw way you looked then, the way you sounded when You told that we reached our final step I try to call you, you're never home I waste a fortune on the telephone What I get are recorded messages Your voice keeps telling me You'll get right back to me I might as well, try to face it The Love I gave you was really wasted If you paid me for all the times I'd be so rich now, it's such a crime Hold On I'm Trying I'm really trying My heart is crying Baby for you! You, you don't hear me when I call I guess this silence says it all I'll just keep on moving on down the road without you!
