Penn used to play bass over the opening credits of their TV show about 15 years ago, I used to love playing along with it

I think he may have been another musician turned comic/actor/performer. Chevy Chase, Joe Pesci, Tommy Chong, Steve Martin and more all played before their careers took off on other stages.

I was never able to speak while playing. I can sing, but I can't converse at all. My brain short circuits when I try and I either have to stop playing to speak, or stop speaking to play. It has always intrigued me, and I've been playing for 35+ years. Best I can figure is that the two sides of my brain don't like to share prominence, so it's either right side or left side at a time. Singing is more right side because it's part of the music and I'm not making up words, only making word-sounds to go with music-sounds.

Rezdog | Joe Piscapo is a passable rock drummer as well.
