(Thanks to CJ Chilvers, author of the The Van Halen Encyclopedia, for pointing me to the MTV interview. Wolfgang is now, of course, like his father, his grandfather, and his namesake, a musician. I Know Someday Youll Have a Beautiful Life - Eddie Vadder, Pearl Jam. His life is surrounded by music all the time, and I don’t want him taught by a book.” To get you familiar with Instagram poets, or Insta poets, here is a list of my top 9 favorite poets/writers. Efficient, organized, and always equipped with new ideas, Jessica always puts her clients first and I’m so elated to be part of the InkSlinger family.

And Wolfy asks me, “When you’re doing that high stuff on the guitar… I really like it when you do that.” I said, “That’s called ‘improvising’ - when you stray off the melody.” It was Halloween, and they’re singing songs and he’s improvising! Straying off the melody a little bit! And the teacher gave him a time out. We have 7 records for Eddie Troutt ranging in age from 53 years old to 92 years old. He’s in first grade… so he’s got a music class once a week. But if I’d have taken guitar lessons, I wouldn’t do all the silly stuff that I do!Īnd this story about his son, Wolfgang, being in music class at school: Maybe that’s why I’m so twisted and unorthodox. Like lawyers and doctors: “Still practicing.” They ain’t got it down yet. I love what he says about being self-taught: At the wheel of a dusty 1997 Chrysler convertible on this warm, cloudless mid-September afternoon is a shortish, roundish, 66-year-old man known mostly these days as Chuck Harris.

“I’ve always been a tinkerer,” he begins, and explains how his father, a jazz musician, cut off his finger and had to modify a clarinet with saxophone keys so he could play.
