Favorite color? Black - I don't have to iron it as often. I can just pick it up off the floor and it's ready to wear.
Non-music jobs? Never had one. I pulled my neighbors weeds for 2 weeks one summer.
Most interesting/funny gig? I played an orchestra concert in Aspen, Colorado. Jack Nicholson was in the audience and when the concert was over, Jacko walked to the front of the stage and shook the conductor's hand and walked out, stealing some of the orchestra's thunder.
Favorite superhero? Are you kidding? The Dark Knight!
Favorite restaurant? "Ixia" in Baltimore, MD or "Pappasito's" in Humble, TX
Embarrassingly often-misspelled word(s)? I have impeccable spelling but in first grade I was eliminated from a spelling bee for spelling the word "his" with "h-i-m" (Hey I was nervous!).
Early-Bird or Night-Owl? I don't care for poultry.
Favorite Quote? "This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality...
Embrace this moment, Remember, we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion," from the song "Parabola" written by Maynard James Keenan.
What does Psalm Fresh mean to you? Psalm Fresh is a reFreshing (see what I did there?) opportunity for me to step outside the box and do something different.
