This painting was made about halloween 1995 in san francisco with my uncle eag. he would come up from arizona to visit and we would write music. this particular halloween we dressed up with whatever was in my house and painted our faces. we rode the 43 bus and went to this bar on filmore with my girlfriend. they had this great jazz band and we just cut up and laughed the whole time. we dubbed ourselves 'the idiot athletes'.
i lived in the basement of my sisters house in west portal where her husband and i would play music. we recorded a lot of music on reel to reel recorder with 8 tracks. i lived there for a few years. it was a very pivitol moment in my life. I was a freestyle mc for around 8 years and much of it was in that basement. dodge on the bass and bernard purdie records on drums. That basement had stories for days.
