That's so f'n cool, I really admire him for going back to school to study music. I wish I could go, but a trip to calli isn't in the cards for a while.

He also played the solo to Smells like teen spirit on trumpet live with Nirvana back in the 90s.

He played trumpet on Eric Avery's album-I HIGHLY recommend it

Some of you seem so suprised to find that some rock stars were classicly trained musicians before they got into rock and roll.
Flea is a musician in every sense.

Man I really want to go see this as the play list seems good. Unfortunately I need to meet up with my youth group kids so that they can plan for the rest of the year. Maybe I could take them...
