Well...here it is: The obligatory Cabo post!

So Gard - you had a great time, and we're all thrilled and proud of one of "our own", but I have to ask -

one name besides Sammy appears several times in the posts above - Mona. Now we realize she's the bassist, and that's a good reason to mention her, but is there more to this story.....? ;) :D

:eek:

Er....NO!!!! She's just a real cool person, who happens to be a great bassist. Let's be respectful, hm? :p

It also happens, my wonderful and long-suffering wife is a fan of Mona's, so it was doubly nice to meet her!

Sorry, boss, j/k. It's been a long week for a lonely old fart, and I let my normal discretion mode lapse for a moment..... :)

It's all good Big guy - but the wife reads here occassionally, and I don't need THAT headache, y'see!!! :p

Not to mention, if Mona happens to "lurk", I don't want her to get the wrong idea about us. She was far too cool a person to be that way about. That said, a bit of editing would be appreciated...:D (The "Waboritas" comment could be seen as being in very poor taste ;) )
 
Oh yeah...well...uh... I got to hang out with David Lee Roth.:eek: Not exactly as cool, and not necessarilly as true :)
Those are some sweet memories.
So are you going to start demanding mineral water, personal changing room, cashmire towels, etc. at the next Atlanta get-together ?
From crack dealer to living it large in Cali...Didn't Snoop Dog have the same story ?

If you don't stop referring to me as a crack dealer (and make sure I am provided with the mineral water, personal changing room, & cashmere towels at the next ATL TB-get-together), I will reveal the secret of both your true name and the source of your commonly known name!

So there!

:p

;)
 
Gard, that is too cool. Great pics.

I just got back from Vegas, and of all the shows to pick from, who do I go see? Sammy Hagar, of course, at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel (I spent waaay too much time at the Hard Rock). You're right, Sammy puts on a great show. For me, it was worth the $80 bucks to hear "Heavy Metal" live, which I'm sure just illustrates how pathetic I am. ;) Mona was awesome, although she got relegated to tambourine when Michael Anthony showed up to play all of the VH stuff, as well as an, um, "interesting," solo in "Bad Motor Scooter." Mona and the band rocked though.

¡Mas tequila!
 
according to his bio on www.allmusic.com he was 56 when you met him.

Its interesting to see creative musician types and their different personallities. Paul is spunky and outgoing, sammy is a party animal-type, and, I hope this doesn't ruin it for anyone, John Mayer is a hyper over analytical type. I like John Mayer's stuff.

Oooh, I forgot some creative musicians are just plain CRAZY!
