I have never stopped playing music.
Whereas I think in New York every step is a detour in every direction.
I just have some restaurants to just go and eat there. Do mean places to,watch people? I like to go shopping look for guitars and stuff with my,friends. Look at Meyer, great old instruments, talk about pedals and,stuff.
I always tell people that to be the funny person in a Steve Martin movie,is like getting a call that Keith Moon wants you to play drums on his,record. He should be playing drums on his record.
