“Stix Hooper has certainly lived an interesting life. He has worked with some of the most talented musicians in the world. He’s traveled widely to perform and continues to plan future trips….He has escaped the hectic bustle of big cities like Los Angeles and probably added years to his life. L.A. is a place where musicians can find work but they have to be vigilant for opportunities. One night a musician might be playing in a small wine bar and the next week working with a major recording star in the studio, playing pop tunes. It’s great to have choices, so Hooper is in a good place with his long -lasting career.”
