Music is the universal language of mankind ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
ARE YOU PURELY A MUSIC FAN OR DO YOU HAVE ANY MUSICAL TALENT OR ASPIRATIONS? "I am a music fan by nature and have also played just about every instrument... but never really excelled in any particular one, other than the guitar or percussion." DO YOU EVER WISH YOU WOULD'VE PURSUED IT FURTHER? "There was definitely a period in my life that I wanted to pursue it and thought it would be so righteous essentially, to live that way and be able to play music for a living; to play for other people and get that pure gratification for yourself and to give to others." |
"WHAT WOULD YOU SAY STOPPED YOU FROM PURSUING IT?"
"Kids. Careers. Life. Marriages. Divorces. Life again. But the music never stopped, you can always still do it."
"DO YOU STILL PLAY?"
"I try to pick up the guitar when I can. They stare at me from various rooms. I have four guitars, a mandolin, drums, keyboards, other instruments. But recently I started to try to play like one song a day. That was my old mantra, that whenever I got home or in the morning that I'd play one song."
IF YOU HAD A THEME SONG, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WOULD IT BE?
"It would probably be some soundtrack to a cheesy 80's sitcom that I've seen like very episode of. It ranges from like Bosom Buddies to Welcome Back Kotter."
