I went to Nashville to visit in the Summer of 1995, for the NAMM show. While we were having dinner downtown, I ran into Liberty DeVitto, Billy Joel's then drummer. He told me he was playing in a bar band downtown and said I should stop by the club if we were out and about. We were, so we did. It was kind of cool seeing Liberty playing covers in a bar, just like the rest of us have done. Cooler still, was seeing Carmine Appice and Steve Winwood walk in and sit in a set later.
I remember the following three things from that night: Carmine sitting in on the band's rendition of Superstition, Winwood doing Gimme Some Lovin' - both good things to see, particularly as close as the surroundings were. The last thing I remember, was hitting the restroom and standing at the urinal next to the guitar player from the band. As he finished and walked toward the sink, he announced:
I just got off stage with Carmine Appice and Steve Winwood - my dick is hard as a ROCK y'all!
Yeah, I guess it would have to be. That's all I have for today's post, if anyone's offended, well, it's a true story and it's one that still amuses me. Have a great Wednesday....y'all.
