Thank you very much, HummDrum! As a guy who grew up during "The British Invasion", I find these stories fascinating! Actually meeting Mr. Best must have been quite an honour! What a positive outlook that man must carry around! For me, those were the best days of my life. The times were truly changing: music, philosophy, fashion, art, social mores, basically, the way we saw ourselves and each other. I owe a lot to the era. I was too busy with trying to play drums in every garage band that would have me that I never got into any real trouble. Stupid kids' stuff, sure, but, nothing serious. I'm rambling. Guess it's my age. Anyway, thank you very much for the stories, guys. They are appreciated in a most genuine way.
