Somebody get me a doctor!!!

Over the years the S.M.B. has certainly had a cast of characters come through it.  Somewhere along the line everyone who is in, or around the band acquires a nick name that goes along with their personality.  The original keyboard player for the band was a gentleman by the name of Chris Daniels who earned the name Doc.  Doc is no longer in SMB but he’s still a good friend and there are so many funny stories about the guy that I just had to tell one. The best way I could describe Doc is he’s like a cross between Sylvester the cat and the Cowardly Lion. To call Doc just a little jumpy would be the understatement of the century…that was the only kink in his armor Steve and I needed.    Now, when it comes to traveling with the band, accommodations can get a little sketchy from time to time.  At some gigs we’re treated like kings.  We’re put up in the finest hotels, fed steak dinners and treated like royalty for the entire gig.  Other times the entire band and road crew are all squeezed i

History repeats itself.

Free enterprise; sounds good to me, but what do I know, I'm just a drummer in a rock-n-roll band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVh75ylAUXY&feature=player_embedded Until next time Bart
