NCV ---Going back to the beginning, you come from a musical family, right? ACE --- Yeah, everybody in my family played an instrument.

NCV --- I heard your brother is a classical guitarist. ACE --- Yeah. NCV --- Is he “bad“, or what? ACE --- Yeah, if ya like that stuff (laughing) He’s played a classical guitar at NYU. My father was a classical pianist, my Mom played classical piano, my sister played classical piano…

NCV --- And you messed everything up and became the Rock Star, huh?! ACE --- Yeah. I was the youngest of three kids, they thought I was gonna take piano lessons, too.
