OurStage: Let The Fans Decide

FACT: Yes, that is Don DiLego's brainscan portraying Jim Carrey's brainscan in 2004's "The Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind"...just in case that mystery has always been dogging you. Further proof the world, as Don sees it, does indeed move in mysterious ways.

Currently splits his time between New York, NY and Velvet Elk City, where his crushed-velvet recording studio is located. There are banjos, harmonicas, guitars, tambourines, mandolins, basses, accordians, and a wurlitzer strewn across his studio in various states of disrepair. A Betsy Ross edition piano sits handsomely in the corner, a full and melodious half-step out of tune. A fact that doesn't sit too well with his band.

Drinks too much coffee. Talks to himself a lot. Wishes he wrote "Red-Headed Stranger" by Willie Nelson, but to this day, refuses to wear a bandana.
