Some History?

[Rammers]

Hi Dave,
I was just wondering how you came across the opportunity to join Steve's band?
I'm guessing that there were some demanding auditions involved.

I am curious as well as to how you hooked up with Vai.

No, no auditions. Here's the short version:

I was interning for Vai's manager while I was going to GIT. I was asked to record a demo by some recording students. I mentioned it to Steve. He asked to hear it. I gave it to him when I was done. He got back to me a few weeks later and said he liked my playing and asked if I wanted to go on tour. I said yes. He said learn these 14 songs and bring your guitar to the studio on Monday. I said ok.

hahaha I know that's a very cut and dry and non-emotional version. But that's the skinny.

Of course you would say yes! And Steve is harsh, 14 songs!

Well if the Weiner can't cut the mustard, he won't get to ketchup on experiences he can later relish!!

Sorry, can't help but throw out bad buns!!
