  • I was so nervous. My first time playing in front of a crowd in almost 15 years. But my now wife said she wanted me to do this because she is incredible, and the band was more than happy to oblige.

      You have to believe there are thousands of older guys who spent hours in their parent’s basements as teenagers learning to play guitar or bass or drums and then careers and families came along and the instruments became dust collectors in the closet. This guy obviously found a way to keep the music alive and not waste his talent and the hard work it takes to develop it.

    I saw Van Halen live a little over 10 years ago, and this guy played eruption better than Eddy did at his own concert. 👍👍👏👏👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
