Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
All The Time. At various high profile venues. Smaller venues. Parties and so on. It is through playing live that I feel the true divination of music. (I love it)
Any where I play I feel is special, but, through this I have been able to meet many of my childhood idols.
