[Restless]

I cried myself to sleep one night because my mother wouldn’t let me go to Hollywood to meet Susan Dey. It is one of my most vivid childhood memories. I was certain Susan would fall for me, a 10-year-old boy, if I could just get my chance!

Around that age, I actually penned a letter to Reuben Kincaid asking to join the band. I thought I could be a much better drummer than Chris with a little practice.

I had visions of the Partridge Family bus pulling in front of my house to take me on tour with them.

I received in reply (about 8 weeks later) an invitation to join the Partridge Family fan club with a glossy photo of Keith Partridge. I gave the photo to my sister and never joined the fan club. I wanted to be in the band!
