I almost met Gregg Bissonette back in 1983 when he was on tour with Maynard Ferguson. I tried to get a chewed up drum stick from him. He didn't give it to me. C'mon Gregg, it was all chewed up! Like you were paying for them. Well, you probably were.

I met Miles Davis backstage at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1984. Thanks for positive feedback Mr Davis. Appreciate it. Errrrr...
