Rick Nielson guitar player from Cheap Trick talks about his early days as a toddler. Rick tells Rock Scene " My father was an opera singer, he would sing at churches, both my grandfathers were ministers. When I was 3 years old I walked onstage during the Barber of Seville and people started laughing and clapping 'thats what I like'. My occupation, my hobby and my love -- laughter and clapping.... Not the clap (ha!)
