Adam  01:47

So you know every time I do I'm Alex. Alex Alex Skolnick played in Testaments. So heavy metal bit awesome. There you go heavy metal band from the 80s Testament. And, and a guy named Mike Keneally, who's also a monster guitar player who played for Frank Zappa as well. I don't know if you know, Steve Vai. His first job out of Berklee College of Music was to play with Frank Zappa. I mean, talking about being gay is working for Frank Zappa. Incredible, you know, which is, you know, he's like the Paganini of rock. I mean, like he, the stuff that he wrote is, you don't have to be a massive musician, even attempt to play his stuff. So yeah, so Mike O'Neill is another Zappa band member, and he, he's also amazing. So um, so we had these jam sessions, at the end of the day, and at night, you know, and here I was jamming with a group of guys, and we didn't have a drummer at the point. At that point. It was a bass player. We had like three guitar players. And now awesome, Mike Neely walks into our jam room and like, we're like you play drums. And so you're there. I was playing cocaine by Eric Clapton. Actually, JJ Cale wrote that but we had Mike Neely on drums. Wow, man in my head. I was like, I felt like a kid in a candy store in your elements. Definitely a highlight of the band camp actually. Having Mike Keneally Listen to me play guitar while he's backing me on drums.

I told my, one of my clients told me he went to Alaska recently, and I was like, show me photographs, you know, glaciers and dogsledding and I was like, oh my god, this is incredible.
