Last night I'm playing a few tunes at this jam that Northrup hosts.
I get off stage and this great singer guy (sang w/Toto in the early
80's-- sorry, I don't remember the name) comes up to me to talk.

Singer: "Hey, great playing."
Me: "Thanks, man."
Singer: "It's nice to hear a drummer who doesn't wear sweat pants."
Me: "Sweat pants?"
Him: "Yeah, no pocket."


My new favorite quote! :-)

Yeah, it was. That was nice of him.
(BTW, a friend helped me remember the his name, Keith Landry.)

It's better than what Pat says when he sees me play...
"Saw you play, tonight. Nice chop." :-)
