Lawrence Cronin shares his lockdown experience in spontaneous and light discussion with Michelle Erland. Lawrence likes to make stuff up on his guitar as one of his hobbies, though he wouldn’t call it songwriting per se (definitely a must watch!). His other passions (besides wine making) include driving his motorcycle, watching children’s television shows with his son, and riffing on traditional Italian cooking with his wife. One sentiment would sum up Lawrence’s existence: "my heart's in New York, my soul's in Sicily."
