Some good . . . some funny . . . some bad.

Good: Our band being asked to record the theme music for a movie and getting an appearance. Bonus - finding a DVD of it some 40 years later.

Good: Our record producer saying the song needed a guitar solo so he'd bring in a session guy. It turned out the 'session guy' was Jimmy Page.

Funny: While playing a U.S. Air Force base in eastern Europe, the club manager asking me to take some photographs of some visting top USAF brass, full-bird colonels and such, and having no film in the camera and having them pose.

Bad: Doing the original arrangements for a song titled Black Is Black which we received as a scratchy demo and, due to a dust-up between our A&R man and the record company our mastered, ready-to-press recording being scrapped and within weeks it being released by Los Bravos on another label. Indelible memories surface every time I hear the song on oldies radio.

It's said that variety is the spice of life, well there's no shortag of it in this wonderful game of music.
