Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live as many times as possible. Usually I am with one of my two bands, Down From Nothing or Walking Void.
A special moment came when Down From Nothing played at the Whisky a Go Go and then a week later the remaining members of The Doors took the exact same stage. It was a blast before, during, and after!
