We were just going through some old tour memorabilia and saw that you, too, played with Joel Sonnier. By any chance were you drumming with him through Michigan a few years back? We opened for that tour and I'll tell you -- it was one of the most fun experiences. Joel and his entourage were so talented and wacky -- we really laughed our cheeks off. It was also one of the spookiest tours! I think you might have been drumming at the time?
If you were -- do you recall the haunted apt. and the ghostly jogger? RLOL I know Joel will vividly fill in the blanks for you.
