00:00I said, you know Nick I can blow your head off. He said go ahead and I did. You didn't see me at the rally and no did you see me at the funeral because it brought some things back to me that I thought was gone.
00:24I lost a brother in Jersey City shot with a double barrel shotgun close range. I'm 17. I'm involved with a gang, the largest gang in Newark, New Jersey. I organized. We went over Jersey City looking for the person.
00:50Well, when we got there, we didn't realize it was a family. And when you talk Jersey City and you talk family, you talk in the mafia.
01:05At the time of my graduation from high school, I had to leave Newark, New Jersey. I had to leave the mom and the dad or I wouldn't be here today.
01:21So I'm on, I'm living that side. It was two days in Nebraska where I went to school. You can go buy a gun, no paper necessary.
01:35I played football and basketball and the tackle. Good guy, nice guy. And the guys came to my room and we got high. They left. I had the clip in my gun. Nick came in my room. I said, you know Nick, I can blow your head off.
01:53He said, go ahead. And I did. I shot him in the head point blank this close.
02:15I stayed in jail. One night, I never went to court. I went back to basketball. How did that happen? Because I had a family member, one of my uncles.
02:36He was involved with one of the families. That family made a call from Newark to New York, to Omaha, to Nebraska, where I was at. And I was out the next day.
02:52See, so that's having the right contact at the right time.
02:59My point is, when my son told me about cello, it all came back.
