I almost tell him that I'd never be able to do something like that, just take out my instrument and begin playing on a street corner. But it feels to personal. Yes, I'm shy, but why bring it to his attention? I'm too shy to talk about how shy I am.
What I love about L. A. and Washington, D. C. is that they're almost the opposite of each other. L. A. is a very creative space while D. C. is a very cerebral space. So, they're the ying and the yang in my world. I like them both for their own reasons.
