Seriously. Write it down so you won't forget. Ask him about what it was like working with "Moses Dalton" back in the day. Guaranteed you'll get a rise out of him. If you follow it up with "MC Dred" it will be a bonus.

Ok - this is all providing we can actually stop talking about gear long enough to get anything else in. I make no promises

I'll probably be chatting w/ him next week some time - I'll be sure to ask . . .

My cab was kinda small, but thick. 18" Cerwin Vega folded horn. LOUD. I have no idea what happened to the other players. I think their families are still back home. Maybe I should look em up.

Recently found this one. Not really embarrassing but the oldest pic I have of me playing. (1973, that's me on the left)...

...and me today. The hair's shorter and the ears are shot but I'm still at it at 60 so I can't complain

Wow - this is true 80's. The keyboard tie (with tie clip) the drummer with gloves, the bad sunglasses, everything. Love it!

TONS more where that came from Goatee:

LA DAZE pictures by ProgOwl - Photobucket

BTW, that's me in the blazer holding the orange (or whatever fruit it was), it was the bassist wearing the gloves, the drummer is the one with a suit and upside down glasses. The keyboard guy did one gig with us and then disappeared.
