Musician That Inspired You To Play: Guitarist friend

I was foolin' around in my room playing air drums to a Boston album; when my friend remarked, "It actually looks like your playing that song, you should get a set of drums". "Alright" I replied. The next week we found a used kit for $40, I was able to use the hi-hats and one of the crash cymbals for 10yrs.
