June 19th, 2021 serenaded by Danny Carey

Moi. It happened to me.

On the eve of Father's Day, (call no man on earth father).

It just so happened that the top rated drummer in the entire world, Danny Carey, dropped by my little villa, Paola, Kansas to visit his dad.

I had no idea.

We have exactly one 'bar and grill' in the entire county, and I stumbled in there about 10 pm. No cover charge, open tap (as it turned out).

This band, Incognito, was playing cover tunes exceptionally well.

The bar and grill is called Pappa C's. It's like a metal shop building, and the acoustics generally suck, but Incognito was hooking up. It's like a double wide trailer house, twice expanded and i'm sitting 20 feet from Danny without even recognizing him. He was hitting a 5-piece drum set with precision, but he looked like an ogre due to his size.

There was a female vocalist that covered 'White Rabbit' note-on for Grace, and then everybody exited the building. It was cosmic.

i guess maybe you don't remember my stories (except for Steve).
