  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. So it's timely we're talking about it now,

  Speaker 2: the case, but Tom Petty and The Heartbreak has played
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the halftime show, and for whatever reason, it just completely
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: mesmerized me. And so from that age, it was just

  Speaker 2: that was something I knew I've really gravitated toward. And

  Speaker 2: so when I was nine, I picked up guitar. You know,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I primarily you know, learned off YouTube and things like that,

  Speaker 2: up close, you know, from other people, really resonated a
