Glad you enjoyed it. I've always remembered and thought about from time to time. It's sad that I never realized the full impact it had on me until the last few years. I REALLY wish I had appreciated how special an opportunity it was and somehow stayed in touch with him. He continued to visit the same bar several times a year, every year. Only a handful of people even knew who he was and his accomplishments. To most, he was just the polite friendly gentleman with a ponytail that showed up in town every few months. I would give anything to be able to talk with him again...to discuss drumming on now a more technical level and let him know how a few hours of impromptu conversation with a stranger had such a profound effect. It sounds kind of corny, but even having played on something like 50 gold & platinum albums, I think he would have appreciated it.

Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
