“The life of any musician really doesn't fall into a normal schedule at all. Every week there are different rehearsals, different days and nights of performances, so we don't have a particular pattern that we can follow.

“It was a great place to grow up. There were always kids around in our neighborhood. We had a basketball hoop in the back of our house, a little front yard where you could get touch football games going.

I remember it as a very normal childhood.” ThinkingKnowsLittlesBigsKidsRememberGamesHouseFunGrowsCitiesGrowing UpChildhoodFrontsFootballBasketballNormalNeighborhoodYardsNew OrleansFootball GameBig CitiesTouch Football Author:Eli Manning
