Hello 10at10 Club,
My name's Josh (Henig), I'm a Virgo, and I hate mayonnaise.
I was a wallflower on the Annalisa page for most of my tenure there until Kool & the Gang yelled at me this past summer, "Get your back up off the wall!" So I did and am now a frequent -- sometimes manic -- poster. That pattern may be repeated here, at least the wallflower at the beginning phase.
My musical background started with me playing piano and clarinet in grade school and accelerated when I became a dj and guitar player in college. From almost the first moment I picked up my guitar and played, I wanted to be in a rock band and take over the world. Shockingly enough, that did not happen. Sadly, the callouses disappeared from my fingers long ago, although I have an unused pool of funds collected from a past birthday with which I am supposed to buy a Telecaster.
I have been perceived as an "Indie Rock Snob" and called "The Emperor of Cheesy Music." To celebrate the yin and yang of my musical taste, I have chosen the cover of the Feelies' seminal nerd rock album, Crazy Rhythms, as my avatar, and the end of this quote from Poison's hair metal anthem, "Nothin' but a Good Time," as my username:
You see I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs every day
If wantin' the good life is such a crime
Lord, then put me away
Here's to ya
