NAMM started off bad.....The plane left an hour & a half late.....Strong headwinds made us even more late.........I didn't get in & get my bag till 8PM........I wanted to be at the Steve Stevens party at 8PM sharp.......
I get into the late shuttle & it's almost full.......I get the 2nd to last seat......& then a couple tries to get on.......She sits next to me & he is going to sit next to the driver......I say "Sit together" & I get out & get in the front.......
The couple are very happy & really seem to appreciate it......The guy starts to talk & ask me questions......Why am I here, am I playing NAMM etc...etc...etc...
I thought this guy was a bass player based on how he was dressed & his large guitar case............
I menton Steve Stevens & he says that he's played with him.....& that he played on the Hendrix tour.........
So finally I'm like "what's your name"?
& he replies....."My name is Eric Gales"!
I laughed that I didn't recognize him at first.......We talk for a 1/2 hour & he tells me "Come to the Two Rock booth Friday at noon" & he'll take care of me!
I still have no idea what that means........
Here's a pick of my new buddy & I........He's one hell of a nice guy along with being a stellar player too!!
Mr. Eric Gales.......
