Meanwhile after failing the bar twice, I knew some people in New York and moved here in August '71.
Even by the time I was four or five, I had Gene Autry records.
By many peoples' standards, my playing is very primitive but by punk standards, I'm a virtuoso.
From '69 til '76, I never played in public. I would play by myself at home.
I was 12 in '55 when rock and roll hit. It just completely transformed me.
By then I was in Brooklyn and drank my way through that summer. I stopped when I got sick of that and got a job at the Strand bookstore, which was a little better than the tax job.
