Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations

What does Jack White (1/2 of The White Stripes and member of The Raconteurs) and Noe Camacho (my brother and lead singer of Ultima Bengala) have in common?

They both know a bunch about music, textiles and upholstery! I mean, Jack's first job was upholstering furniture at a shop, where he teamed up with his mentor/boss to form the musical project The Upholsterers, (Los Tapiceros) literally. Later he went solo as "Third Man Upholstery: YOUR FURNITURE’S NOT DEAD”. (He is a.k.a. Third Man, my guess: because of his fixation with anything that has to do with #3). My brother and I have been raised between rolls of fabrics for upholstery and dealing with upholsterers. Its what we do for a living! So you can safely say that at my brother's age, Jack White was doing the same he is doing now: checking out fabrics and strapping on his guitar on his free time! (hmm then he landed a record deal... interesting..)
