Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
When I can...my day job keeps me busy paying the rent and stuff...but always looking to do more...At the moment I'm restricted to my adopted home in Greece...and yes i like it...I was born for it...I like to entertain...special moments....playing my first electric gig here and ripping it up.
