Oy! Karl tagged me, and like him I share too much so five things might be a little tough.
- New people I meet always get the benefit of the doubt and will be treated as a friend unless and until they demonstrate they are not.
- I hung out at the Mudd Club, CBGBs and a few other Manhattan punk clubs back in the late ’70s with a buddy named Brian Karlman. During the winter months I was pretty much the only one wearing plaid lumberjack shirts and, no, I never dyed my hair.
- I’m a big Buddy Rich fan thanks to a good buddy of mine from Jersey who was also an awesome drummer (and has perfect pitch to boot). Second and third favorite non-rock musicians are Beethoven and the King of Swing, Benny Goodman.
- My biggest regret about living in California for nearly 11 years is still the distance from my parents, sister and my sister’s family. But my biggest regret career-wise is not recognizing the opportunities in Silicon Valley when I visited here in my senior year of college for my cousin Larry’s Bar Mitzvah.
- Like Sam, I have an irrational fear of heights and also must have the aisle seat on planes and in theaters.
Is there anyone left to tag? Well, Rob and Pam, for sure, and Rogers, Dan and Adam make an even five, go to it folks.
