About Ernie Diaz:
I've lived all over, enough to not be from anywhere, belong to everywhere, and know everyone's much more alike than different. I also don't do bios in the third person, and find joy in being the best guitar player/singer on my living room couch, unless someone else is sitting there too. Loreli was able to record Ernie's story at the Beijing Storytellers event on September 22nd, part of The Bookworm's 10th Anniversary celebrations. Full disclosure: Loreli's Amy Daml also hosts the Beijing Storytellers.
“And everyone who’s ever asked me about it just think, ‘oh there’s that twat, he was on that shit show.’”
