At some point they decided to call each other with a cartoon name, and finally "Flea" remained as the name by which all of his friends were calling him. His friend from junior high, Keith Barry, who played saxophone with the Red Hot Chili Peppers during the Mother's Milk tour in 1989-90, also got his nickname "Tree" the same way. When a kid, he played the trumpet and wanted to become a jazz trumpet player. Daughter Clara Balzary (with now-ex-wife Loesha), born September 16th, 1988.
