Noah the "Crazy" Red Faced Dragon Slayer of Mount Hood Bernstein here, stopping by to say hello from sunny Portland, OR. Though I'd much rather prefer to say I've met a zillion drummers just like you since I've left and don't miss you one bit, the truth is, when I'm not out slaying dragons, I spend many a sleepless night thinking of how I want to feel your menacing touch on my tom tom drum just once more. Be well, my good friend.
