Sharona Gets A Round Trip Ticket

When the Rolling Stones are on the road, they listen to 50s rock n roll and the blues. The Clash, predictably, listen to reggae. Rick James (natch) gets down to the FUNK. And the Knack? Well, the Knack listen to...Chopin? True enough, as I find when the door connecting Knack lead guitarist/songwriter Berton Averres hotel room to bassist Prescott Niles room swings open and the oh-so-debonair bassist steps lightly into the room, followed by the sweet sounds of Chopin.
