This blog is the closest thing that people will get to my autobiography. I'm sure I would tell more of myself to my wife, but I am not married yet. She probably might think it's just the ramblings of a senile old person. I was looking at my first and second post just now. I was about a month and a half away from being homeless! I knew back then that my eviction was inevitable, the banners were a last ditch attempt to make money. I had managed to finish the drum tracks for "Woo Hoo", which took me 10 years to complete. Yeah not only did I become homeless, I had to leave the country. Anyway, I started the band in 1990. At first I wanted to call it "White Man Speak With Forked Tongue" but the rest of the band didn't like it, so we opened up the dictionary and searched for a word then came up with "Shadowplay". Since then there were many changes in the band roster, and I managed to keep the band together (in shadow form at times) up until André died in 2002, then I was on my own. Needless to say, no former band member could know what happened to me if they had left the band. And would they have left the band if they knew that Shadowplay would be successful? Well, I am NOT successful. I have no money. I can't afford to marry. I could get evicted at any given moment. Allah is The One who has kept the music (and me) alive.
It's time for you to watch another movie, Natty dearest! Yeah I know you are super busy, but this one is an important movie. Many film critics regard this movie as the greatest movie ever. I like this movie too. Citizen Kane (1941).
