My lovely wife, first and foremost. My kids, grandbabies, family. But then there's the music...I love to play my 1980 Gretsch USA drums.I like my football, too...Steelers all the way!Ok, so now let me tell you what I'm NOT interested in: Baseball, Soccer, Tennis, NASCAR (makes me dizzy!), promiscuous women (so don't invite me as a friend if you want more than just a friendship in return...I AM happily married!), stores that run out of beer, DRUGS, stupid people (like ME!), mean people, rude people, rap music, well, you get the idea.LOUIE BELLSON... Played with both Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey bands. After other drum companies turned down his double bass idea he turned to Gretsch. "Gretsch was with me all the way...they said 'Yeah, OK, we'll make it."
I'd like to meet John Cougar, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Klaus Miene from the Scorpions, Neil Peart from Rush, Buddy Rich (yeah right!), Gene Krupa (the best drummer there ever was or will be!), and Sib Hashian from Boston. I always enjoy meeting fellow musicians. Neil Peart
