Me, too, Nigel! Mayer also writes a monthly column for Esquire magazine. Check it out. He's a multi-talented kid, on and off the bandstand.

Also, Robert Randolf made a brief appearance on the last part of the Grammys. What an innovative use of a pedal steel (check him out Scott).I saw him on a PBS special, where he was performing with several old lap steel players from his church. He gave his teachers respect and appreciation. Strange "niche" kind of career, but he's really good, and evidently a fine person as well.

By the way, what was wrong with Sly Stone? He really didn't look good.
