Playing Along With Records Is Key. And

We Always Feel Pretty Creative As Far As Writing Songs. We Write Them Together; We Just Get In A Room, Or On Occasion In Flea's Garage. We Just Sort Of Improvise, Like Jazz Musicians.

I Was In Every Band Class I Could Get In, Like After School Jazz Band And Marching Band, And That's Where I Really Learned To Read Music From Elementary All The Way Through Junior High And High School.

Edible Names Are What Drives Me As A Musician. My Next Band Will Be Called The Hot Dogs.

Family Time Is Really Important To Me.

I Had Sort Of Exhausted All The Avenues Playing In Detroit. So Again, Through The Stewardship Of My Brother, I Ended Up In California And Went To The Musicians Institute In L.a. I Wanted To Get Better As A Player.
