[Interivew Kiff Dolly Lama] I dont know, something about fire has always kind of Struck my interest and um Just so happens that um Hanging out at my dads all the time there was actually A glass blowing studio right next door, attached to the building And so growing up as a kid like subconsciously I would just I would look, I would be hanging out side looking drain And I would see a bunch of colored glass pieces And something about them, just like, I really liked There was something I was just like I want to use these pieces to make something And I never knew what that something was ever going to be But I was like this stuff is cool, I want to do something with it I was just so blown away by the qualities of it The way the sun hit it, I would hold up certain pieces And let the sun just shine through it And it would just do something different And blow my mind in a different way I couldnt get away like I had to be in their studio Because everything was way more interesting in there Than my dads shop, cause they were blown fire They were making fire, They had things that were on fire And I was way more interested in that Than putting fire out, you know, and so I was like every time after that day they took me on their little tour It just came to a point where my parents just like They just kind of assumed I would do that That just became what I was going to do, you know? Like I would just go to my dads shop Then I would just go next door The be like, Oh wheres Kevin? Oh he must be next door, Okay. Then somedays my mom would be looking for me Shed come over and be like Kevin, What are you doing? We got to go, We got to get out of here Not yet mom I Know, Come on, 5 more minutes So i would just Hes in the Glory hole haha I mean I just kind of, at that point I just kind of come up with any Excuse I could to find my way over there and there came one day Where something, the owner randomly had this through He was like Alight well, I think its time. And then he set up the stool Like a bar stool right in the middle of the glass studio Like right in the center where all the action was And he was like, Alright Kevin you can sit here, and just watch But just make sure you dont touch anything or do anything Justjust sit and you can watch and i just sat there For a good couple hours while I just watching them do their thing And that just like, in some way, it somewhat planted a seed in my brain That just like sparked something and then I grew older, uhh the actual founder of that studio And owner of that studio, he was diagnose with ALS Or Lou Gahrigs disease. Oh wow and so he lost his ability to walk And he was forced to live the rest of his life in a wheelchair And he actually ended up blowing glass until the day he died WithIn his wheelchair basically. What? So Legendary Yeah
