Trivia: In 1975 my band “Rampage” opened for Steppenwolf and Savoy Brown at the Tampa Convention Center.

My idol as a drummer was the Vanilla Fudge/Cactus drummer Carmine Appice. I looked a lot like him and bought a huge drum set exactly like his. After our set I was walking up in the top seats to see the stage and a (another?) kid came running up and shook my hand and said “Carmine, you were fantastic!”

And I said . . .

“Thank you!”
