I live in amultigenerational homewith my parents, wifeand two girls, and we doall these things to get around town. In fact, sometimesI take the kids on the SkyTrain or SeaBus just for anadventure even if we have nowhere in particular togo! Being a busy touring musician, I love driving mycar (the “Willmobile”) to and from shows and havedriven all across our majestic country to share mymusic with kids.
