Tady je můj pokus, ale taky jsem nerozuměl všemu. Snad to někdo doplní
(to zvýrazněné), případně poopraví chyby.
I was always, you know, I was always thrilled with music, like a lot of
kids, you know, and I guess you can tell some kids when they're young if
they're going to be musicians because that's, that's all that's on their mind
and I remember my parents used to listen to these really weird records, you
know like, polka records and comedy records but then they broke out this record
once and there was west side story and it had a huge impact on me, because it
had all these things that I liked about music, it had drama and it had, you
know, intrigue and it had a story and it had an incredible melody, you know, and
that power and it wasn't just confined like conventional beats and stuff,
I mean, it was ?????, you know, and Stephen Sondheim so I…
it had a big impact on me, and I felt at that time, that's just I wanted to
do – music, and… but then in the other room my sister was listening to Led
Zeppelin and Alice Cooper, and, you know, my brother was listening to Sly and
the Family Stone, you know, so once I heard Led Zeppelin, I mean that was that
it was kind of all over for me. I was really afraid to play the guitar because
I played accordion first, because you know, good a time voice
from ????? and that's what they do when they're ten years
old – play accordion. A friend of mine had ????? for a
couple of months and I went to his house and he went
“tuhduhduhduhduuhduuh”, you know ????? and I was like
“oh my god, you are a complete ?????, you must be the best
guitar player in the whole town” and he said “well, if you think I'm good,
you should see my teacher Joseph ?????”, so I… so I got
Joseph ?????'s phone number and Joe went to the same school,
same town and he was maybe three or four years older than me, and my
less, he was a mentor for me when I was a kid, because he was just
the, you know, he was the embodiment of “cool” and he was completely
musical, everything he did and, it had… he had a big impact on me and I took
lessons for like three years from Joe.
