I play music on one: 1960s Martin guitar that belonged to my grandfather (similar model shown). Martins have a really wonderful midrange tone. A Martin, especially an old one – where the wood is old and sedentary and almost petrified – has a lot of character. You can not get that on a new guitar.

If I have some spare time: I drive motorcycles. I have three, four or five of them, including a Triumph Thruxton 1200 R. It has a really great old-school design and all the modern technologies. There are no plastic parts on the thing. It's a nice, nice bike.

My favorite tool for around the house is: my Dyson v7 hand-held vacuum. The thing has so much power. My kid has a lot of friends over here, so there are crushed Goldfish crackers everywhere. It just—zzzuuhhhhh—sucks that stuff up and we’re good, baby.

An essential outdoor tool is: my Greenworks Pro 80-Volt Leaf Blower. I like to spend a lot of time outside when I’m home in Tahoe or L.A., so I’ve got to clean up foliage. It’s battery operated and pretty quiet. Damn, do I love my leaf blower.
