Location: Crossville, TN | One of my best moments was actually by accident lol, several years ago I was enjoying open mic night in one of my old favorite hang outs, a nice little blues bar in Knoxville, when some friends talked me into playing. I probably shouldn't have as I had maybe 1 or 5 too many drinks that night, but I am very glad they talked me into it. In the middle of the set Blues great Cheryl Rene just so happened to be there and came up and gave a blistering vocal performance while I was playing. It was awesome to see her wailing away right beside me and an honor to perform with her. She had just dropped in to see her friend the mc before leaving for a performance out of town, and said she loved the music and wanted to sing, so it was just luck and that I was in the right place at the right time. |

Well, . . a 3-way with Marissa Tomei & Charlize Theron would probably "top" it, for me . . . |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Cliff, I'm jealous. Harry was one of the very best that ever lived. When you went to one of his shows, every person in the audience felt like he was sitting in their living room, playing just for them. A good friend of mine performs both of those songs, and although I have never liked my voice, I do Big John's part on them both. We always get compliments, although it's probably for the material, not the performance. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Somehow we went from singing with Chapin to stealing towels. As long as we're off topic, this reminded me of a golf story.
I was in the 19th hole complaining about my inability to hit the ball straight and my friend Gary advised that I need to "point my pecker at the hole." I didn't realize he was trying to tell me I wasn't rotating my hips. Instead, I told him, "you get much more excited about golf than I do, Gary. Mine just kind of hangs there." |

I've held many awesome guitars in many awesome moments with some pretty awesome people in my 42 years of playing music: none even come close with becoming a Father at 50 years of age...and then again at 54...
I am a blessed man... |

Location: NJ | I was very stressed out at the third open house.
I passed a remark to Matt Smith that I would be glad that it was over.
He said that I should be proud because it happened because of me. that I put the tools in place to join all these people togther.
that made me feel good.
A music one happened just this past year. I played with my nephew for his High School senior solo. We performed really well and the audience loved it. I became a legend in a high school I never atteneded.
there are probably others. |
