Thanks! You know I'm always up for a musical slide! Lucky you regarding the Dave Mason story. I do like his rendition of “Watchtower”. Did you ever watch “Battlestar Galactica”, the newest one? Where Starbuck was a female? I loved that show. In the last episode, and maybe a few before that, the music was soooo familiar, it drove me crazy! Once I figured out it was a version of “All along the watchtower” I was so psyched!

Thanks for sharing an awesome story. Life happens, and sometimes, the soundtrack rocks!

You’re welcome. Did not watch the new Galactica.

My sister’s theater directorship has afforded me a couple of other personal encounters with musical greats. Got to hang out with Alan Parsons a little bit who is a very nice chap (as expected).

The best for me was being sent to fetch a drummer from the hotel quite early so that he could tune up before the other band members got there. Being a lover of jazz-fusion for about four decades...well, I just about wet my pants when I realized who was piling into the passenger seat of the SUV. Verklempt I was.
