He [
John Popper] figured if he introduced me and Eric [
Eric Schenkman], something cool would happen. He was right except we did a rehearsal together and it was great we made some great music together. Then the next time we got together, Eric and I almost got into a fistfight. (laughs) Oh [it was about] nothing, probably some silly thing, Eric has a bit of a temper. I was really green and didn't know how to be in a band and I had offended him somehow. He threatened to kick my ass and I was in his face, then John split us up and we didn't talk for a year. Then I ran into Eric in New York City about a year later and he asked me to do a gig with him, I was like, what the hell.
