If you get confused listen to the music play ~ Robert Hunter
*All of this week's interviews were done with people out seeing live music. We thought it would be fitting to finish up this week of music interviews by talking with Paul Baroli Jr. of Steal Your Face Band.*
WHAT'S BEEN YOUR FAVORITE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE?
"Oh my God! That is such a question!"
..."The next one!"
WHO'S BEEN YOUR BIGGEST MUSICAL INFLUENCE?
"Jerry [Garcia], has to be Jerry, without a doubt."
WHY JERRY?
"Nothing else ever touched me as much and just moved my soul that much. I just wanted to dig deeper and deeper and find out more and more and hear more and more. The more I heard, the more I loved it.
IS THAT WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO PLAY OR DID YOU ALREADY HAVE AN INTEREST?
"No, I was playing my whole life. As a kid, I took some trumpet lessons. I was in the whole music track type of thing. I didn't really know what to do with it. I wasn't really meant for the things I was doing then. I was playing in classic rock bands, a little of this, a little of that. Until I put it all together! That this is the music I love, this is what I love to go see, this is where I spend my time, that I was pursuing and playing that music and getting the band together...that's when it came together."
