I’ve been wanting to write this…”Because Of Them: My Personal Story<\/em>” for a long time. Because of George<\/em> I’m doing it. (More on George later<\/em>)<\/p>\n

A lot of people have impacted me throughout my life. Some of them have provided the impetus for things I tried. Some of them influenced my career direction. Some of them helped push me towards things I was good at-even when I didn’t feel I was. Some even helped shape my personality.<\/p>\n

And one of them saved my life<\/strong>. Literally<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Because Of Them: My Personal Story<\/h2>\n

I’d like to introduce you to them<\/em>. Drums first.<\/p>\n

Because Of Buddy Rich<\/h2>\n

I only had to see Buddy Rich once. What he did with two sticks and a few plastic skins mesmerized me. Changed<\/em> me really. (At the ripe young age of 11<\/em>) Here’s a solo he did several years ago.
