I saw him at the Treehouse Lounge I've night, what town was that, Hallandale?... Anyway I went to and told him I'd remembered him from Pearl, and he was pretty surprised I remembered him from ten years prior. He told me about paying with Ingwe, audiences of thousands of people. He had quite the experience.
He'd been producing a metal band called Cryptic Curse when I saw him there. They were quite good, saw them a time or two.
I knew he was sick, my heart went out to him. I'm glad I got to take with him a bit.

yes Hallandale (off SE 1st) he was a cool dude, he did a show with Front Runner after he got back from his first Yngwie tour at the Musicians Exchange in Lauderdale and remember him saying his live tour rig (two SVTs) was louder than Front Runner....

think I found my retirement spot....for years heard of all these exotic spots (South Pacific, Caribbean, FL) and confirmed their weather sucks either by living there or visiting....truth is, when you get used to CA weather (Med weather can come close) it's hard to go back......that said, Los Barriles on the Sea of Cortez features many east coast/Caribbean benefits without the downfalls....warm water, sunrises on the ocean and minimal humidity.....truly the best of both worlds imho....

He was using the SVTs with Pearl when they used to play at Catch 22. And that Fireglo Rickenbacker.

There are cases for cell phones, but I don't have one. Or a camera yet either. Someday after diving skills improve a bit more.

I don't know how big a manta gets, but I was diving in Costa Rica last spring and four or five of them came sailing right through the group I was diving with. Visibility was outstanding, but even so, they seemed to glide out of the gloom and then disappear back into the gloom. They seemed enormous, and the whole effect was completely thrilling. They seemed like the could have easily been 20 feet tip to tip. One of the people I was diving with had a camera and took video of the rays and a curious octopus that played games with us.

I don't think this will ever get old. There's something different in different places. Diving in Puget Sound has a zen quality to it that's really different from tropical water. Since the boy and the girl live in Monterey now, I am hoping to dive there and see what the kelp forests are all about. Recreational divers like me only scratch the surface of what goes on under the water. It's a little like walking around on beaches and thinking that is what there is to know about life on land.

There are reminders of how unforgiving it can be. There was a dead harbor seal on the bottom last Saturday morning, with crabs busy feasting on the carcass.

this novel sparked interest for the area....we were a little apprehensive thinking they may have been poisonous but got told they were manta, not sting rays...
