Got email from Mick Box last night!
He's doing well. I haven't heard from him in 3 or 4 years! (I never bother him)
He's coming to US to visit wife's family and she's from'round these parts
Can't wait to see him
Haven't see him in almost 25 years!!!

1. I saw them in Detroit many years ago.

Mick had fallen off the stage the night before and broke his arm. He looked a little dazed but played flawlessly.

2. My absolute favorite proto-metal song.

3. My Band Did That Song, But...

...since was NOT our thing, we refused to rehearse it
We'd just toss it in when it felt appropriate
4 part harmonies and sampled choirs and a big beefy Hammond sound
We treated it as a throwaway but it always killed!!!

5. Great songs kinda play themselves sometimes.

And GOD that Hammond!

9. I Had An Awesome B3 Sound on My SQ2

I could change the Leslie speed with a foot pedal and could add grit with the mod wheel
I could go from Green Onions to Smoke on the Water with a flick of the wrist
I programmed all that before I had the Mac program, so that was 4 hours of work
It was worth it!

7. Yeah that is a beast of a song

I think I'll treat my fellow cubicle dwellers to a dose of it right now...

8. Did Byron Have "It" Or What???

Died at 38 from liver problems, but geez what a big voice!!!

I hadn't thought about that one in awhile. I used to blast that in my dorm back in the day.

10. My Buddy From Atlanta Got the email Too!

Former soundman (full member of the band) is flying in too
He's the reason I know Mick
This is going to be a fun weekend!!!!
