The other thing I did that was kind of un rock and roll was that I learned to play classical guitar and ended up teaching it for about six years.But no matter what tangent I went on somehow I always ended up back to what must be my first love and that’s singing and being an entertainer.So really, to sum up, what I’m about is performing the role of Mick Jagger in my tribute band The Rolling Stones Experience and providing information about staying fit, staying healthy and having fun to anyone that’s interested.My ultimate goal is to enjoy life as much as possible for as long as possible and help others do the same.ver menos
