Lane,

RONNIE MONTROSE?!!!!! i LOVED RONNIE MONTROSE!!!! "YOU'RE ROCK CANDY BABY" and "BAD MOTOR SCOOTER" were some of the first songs we used to do in our first band. Loved those guys, with Denny Carmassi, "megafoot", on drums, who would go on to play for HEART. And Sammy Hagar on vocals! Wotta band! Montrose played with about everyone in the early 70's, Edgar Winter, Boz Scaggs, Van Morrison, Gary Wright, and many more. Unfortunately, like far too many creative people, suffered with depression his whole life and comitted suicide in 2012. Very unfortunate. But man, was he GREAT! So cool you got to know him.

That is one of the coolset things in the world, the people music brings across our paths.

Very cool story from you too Lane, thanks for taking me back to my youth.
