I’d love to be a member of a successful band touring the country playing huge venues to the thousands of fans. Hey – you said fantasy.
When did you first discover KCRW?
I first discovered KCRW shortly after high school through the World Festival shows at the Hollywood Bowl. My parents used to take my brother and I every year for the classical concerts. This is when I realized the Bowl had more to offer so a friend and I went and saw Crystal Method perform. Thanks KCRW!
