| Comments, Highlights, Stories | Played on a yacht for an evening fraternity/sorority party cruising up and down the intracoastal off Palm Beach, had to reduce our band equipment due to power issues and had to chain my drums down since the water was choppy. Played in Indiantown at a dance, went outside by myself to get a new drum stick out of vehicle and was approached by 3 guys with knives, said they were going to cut my hair…..a few minutes later the whole band came out looking for me and that scared off the sure enough rednecks at that time and got to keep my hair. |
