Meanwhile after failing the bar twice, I knew some people in New York and moved here in August '71.
From '69 til '76, I never played in public. I would play by myself at home.
After I exhausted the blues thing, I got into jazz.
Even by the time I was four or five, I had Gene Autry records.
I started off with the really funky stuff like Ramsey Lewis, Milt Jackson, Kenny Burrell.
By many peoples' standards, my playing is very primitive but by punk standards, I'm a virtuoso.
