Coda - A Moment of Clarity
The morning of September 11, 2001, I remember thinking to myself, "If I get out of this alive, I'll quit this day job and do music full time." That day, I was on the 48th floor of World Trade Center Tower 1 when a plane hit the North Tower, and I had no idea how I was going to get out.
Only two weeks earlier, my office sat on the 81st floor of World Trade Center Tower 2; but after a merger, my employer Fuji Bank relocated. Initially, I was not happy about the move.

Rock Star Mommy
My rock star story is simple. I met Jack White. I thought he was cool. I wanted to be cool too. I signed up for guitar lessons. I started a band. I printed some t-shirts. I made some gig posters. Launched a website. The rest, as they say, is history.
I never intended to be a great guitarist. I only wanted to be a rock star, so I focused on the aspects of being in a band that made me happy and didn’t worry if I hit a bad note once in a while (or for that matter most of the time!)
