Tracy was also personally invited by Joey's brother Micky Leigh to open the "2006 Joey Ramone Birthday Bash" in NYC.
Tracy just loves playing music and considers himself one of the luckiest guys in the world to be fortunate enough to be able do that.
Oh yeah, his other passion is riding motorcycles. He just did his first solo cross-country trip in November (another dream come true!). That's another way he would love to see the world...on a bike!
