What was the first live concert you saw? When, where and with who?

I was nine for the first concert I ever went to and it was at the Boston Garden. The bands we’re Gentle Giant, Steppenwolf and Peter Frampton. Frampton was incredible, from what I remember, see that place had turned into a major marijuana garden, I just remember being this little kid looking up to adults and making my way to the front of the stage and people were clearing the way for me just so I could hang right up front, little did they know that I was really playing the part of the poor little kid, “Let me up front please, I can’t see.” And who took me was my brother Luis and his girlfriend Suzette at the time, my sister Helena and a bunch of other friends from Somerville and Cambridge MA. At the time, it was quite interesting, general admission and only $3.50!

What city do you think is best to play in?

Well I really don’t have one, because no matter where I played I was always very welcomed, so I was very fortunate, thanks to you people.

What is your favorite thing to do on a day with nothing planned?

Grab a bottle of wine and go for a ride and get lost in the back roads of New England or hit the shores and just enjoy the peace and quiet.

First album you ever bought? Do you still have it?

Can’t really recall if it was Aerosmith “Get Your Wings” Or Alice Cooper “Billion Dollar Babies”. But no I don’t have it.

Most memorable experience musically? And then personally.

I have way too many with my old bandmates from Flesh, but personally was when I was performing with Nuno Bettencourt by his side…hey! Wait a minute that’s my brutha!

If you had one wish…what would it be for? And don’t say world peace….
