Accustomed Quote by Brian Henson

“It's really great to do one piece, "I've Grown Accustomed To Your Face," my dad developed in 1956, when he was 20 years old, and it's great to do that piece again now and see that it still really works as well as it ever did.” quote by Brian Henson — Download Open image
