Nice site, Stephen, By the way, I have a Great Grandson
as of 20 January, 2006, Bradley Steven. I guess I'd better learn how to manage my own site, instead of waiting for my Homie
to do it for me. Thanx for the mention, Bro. Very kind of you. I may be "gettin on" in years (let's see, I'll be 21,000 days
on April 1st, this year, and that's no foolin. I'll be celebrating it in Belgium, from the looks of things), but I can still
rock my ass off. I jumped in with Audioslave for 3 shows a couple of months ago. I think you can find some video clips out
there in cyberspace somewhere. Those fuckers are all 12 - 15 years younger than me. We rocked the houses. Tight. I first started
playing spoons when I was 10 - 47 years ago. No doubt about it, Stephen, spoons are a legitimate musical instrument. Never
stop playing them as such. Hell, I've played with Itzhak Perlman, on Broadway at Lincoln Center, with Aerosmith, recorded
and performed with Zappa, been on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion - 28 years ago, the David Letterman Show, 30
countries, all 50 states, played with Jethro Burns, Steve Goodman, Vassar Clements, all of that long before Soundgarden's
Spoonman, the Grammy Award winning song and video. I've been living on playing spoons for over 30 years. Slept under bridges
and in mansions, played barefoot in the snow, on the sidewalks of Seattle and naked under the trees in the Redwoods of California.
I'm not gonna write my biography here, but I appreciate your site, Stephen. Thanx. I hope we meet and play someday. All the
best, Artis |
