I've Met Every Freak In The Business.

I Went With Lionel Hampton For Three Years. Out Of That Came A Trip To Europe.

I Got In The School Band And The School Choir. It All Hit Me Like A Ton Of Bricks, Everything Just Came Out. I Played Percussion For A While, And Stayed After School Forever Just Tinkering Around With Different Things, The Clarinets And The Violins.
