I play in a band. I own a music store.  I will retire in a few years and move to Florida. I also enjoy jokes. My parents do not celebrate halloween.
I work in a factory. I volunteer in my spare time. I enjoy telling jokes.
My band is working on a new song, would you like to hear it sometime? I would love to hear it. What is the song about? It's about getting older but still feeling young That sounds really interesting and very relevant. I imagine a lot of people at my work would like that. It kind of fits the mood of a working class man who experience the mundaneness of everyday life and time passes by quick but yet feels like he is still in his 20s.  Yeah it's no fun getting older. What kind of factory do you work in?  I work in a factory that makes car parts. We mainly make parts for Ford vehicles. It pays good but it is menial work that can get old. But at least, it gives me the opportunity to support my family. Do you find the music business good work? Sometimes yes and sometimes no. The music industry has changed a lot in recent years. People don't buy music the way they used to and the store has had trouble. Vinyl is making a comeback so there's some new interest but it's not like it was. I like being in the band but it doesn't always pay well either. Music is so central to the human experience that it will always be worth it no matter the sacrifice. It's kind of like comedy in a way, a means to process life or escape from it for a little while. So what you do is really valuable. What is your biggest musical inspiration? I still love the early rock and roll - doo wop and acapella groups. I could listen to that type of music all day. I agree music and comedy are central to our souls. Do you ever get to share your jokes with a larger audience? Man, I love the classics like Elvis. It doesn't get much more pure than his music. And I haven't got a chance to share comedy on a larger stage. I have considered going to an open mic though. I am kind of nervous though. Do you have any favorite comedians? I was always a George Carlin fan. Of the newer comics, I really like John Mulaney. He has a very dry wit. I say go for the open mic night! It's always good to try something new.
