Charlie Day

My parents are very... Smart.

Smart.

As is my sister.

She also has her PhD in musicology.

What happened?

What happened here was that, you know, I'm an idiot.

And I was like, I got to get away from this music thing.

So, you know, I'm taking trombone lessons and all my buddies are outside playing baseball.

And I eventually, you know, walked away from it all and gave it up.

But then when I got to, like...

maybe a senior in high school or college, I picked up the guitar and I was like, oh, this is maybe, could be cool or a way to meet a girl.

And then I got back into it.

But I didn't want to be, they had no money and I didn't want to be a music person.

Not long.

And then my dad got a job at a college in Rhode Island.

And my mother's family was from Rhode Island way back, way, way back.

And they went and never left.

They're still there.

I mean, I did plays like in third and fourth grade and always enjoyed it.

And then I wanted to do the school plays in high school, but I was kind of too nervous to join the group.
