New gig subbing for Lou Gramm's bass player
« on: July 20, 2016, 02:35:55 AM »
   My long time friend AD Zimmer is the bassist for the Lou Gramm band. They were in a bit of a bind for a show and AD asked me to fill in late last week. I am really excited and have been working my tail off. We drive up to Canada on Friday  for show number 1, AD does that one, then me and the band fly up to Sascatuwan for the gig on Monday. Full report to follow!

Was that a sic or did you mean Saskatchewan the province?  I know that sometimes you Yanks have City names that are close to our province names (Ontario, California).  If the prov, you're into the great White North now, bud. 

Where's that first show?

I wanna know how love feels!!!

Or the gig felt.

Good Grief...! Last saw him with some band or other in '77, iirc

Enjoy...!

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
