I met and hung out backstage with Brian Nevin - the drummer for Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Very cool night as I was also 1st row, center stage. He is an amazing musician. I have studied his style and techniques for several years now.

I also met Vienna Teng after her concert in Fremont at the Mission Coffee house. We hung out for a bit and chatted it up. She's a doll. :-)

All I remember is that there was no room back there. This is a 1965+- Ludwig seashell finish kit. It was left under the pool table in Kevin's garage. I cleaned it up, put new heads on it and added a few missing pieces here and there. Jeff's brother tuned it up and this little kit cranked. One of the floor Toms was a bottomless thang... not part of the original Ludwig kit. 

Good shot of the kit 

Me and Bill challenging each other with a hard jam 

Kevin... singing hard... he was also very on that night. 

Bar's-eye view of the band 

Jeff "Fingers" we called him. 

Kevin with his sweet Gibson Les Paul 

Bill went wireless that night!! He will literally running around the bar... and was out in the parking lot while the Engine room kept everything rolling at full speed. He was amazing that night

All cylinders, full throttle 

One of our best gigs: The Blue Bonett bar in Sunnyvale 

The best Groupie shot EVA!! 

This shot has kinda an Alman Bros. feel to it. 

Is Bill standing on a.... a doilie?!! NOOO man... that's the "circle of luv"... 

Playing my Timpani sticks on an original song written by the band. I liked the deep effect these sticks would project. 

Our 1st gig together as "Chickens Dun!": Bill, Jeff, Kevin, and me. I helped build this garage. Actually, I helped build this house! This was an open house celebration.
