I'd heard he was gonna be in town(Austin) for NAMM but never figured on seeing him. Mid-song I'm scanning the audience, just looking around, it was a new venue, our first time there, and then I see THE Chuck Rainey watching me! Yikes. Very intimidating. |

Chuck seems to be a genuinely supportive sort of dude and as long as you weren't up there 'hackin' it up, he probably dug what you were doing. Not that I know... but he just seems like that sort of guy. But talk about gut-wrenching! I would have probably lost it!

I really would have liked to had a picture and chatted for a bit. |

Very intimidating. |  Simultaneously scary AND cool!
