His Music Picks
 ''It is kind of an odd choice, depressing music, especially this symphony is called 'tragic'. But the reason why I listen to it is that we were rehearsing and recording that during the 911 catastrophe. It was an intense time for the world and I remember they shut down San Francisco and the bridges. In a way, it reminded me of the situation now.'' - David Herbert
