How did you first hear the name BWGP?
It was posted on a help wanted board at the college I was attending.

When and why did you join BWGP?
1974, because they asked me to join, and it seemed like more fun then going to school. It was.

Earliest recollection of performing with BWGP?
My first performance was opening for the Pointer Sisters in Santa Rosa, CA to a sold out theater of about 1500 people. The newspaper reviews said we blew the Pointer sisters away.

Most desperate BWGP moment:
Running out of beer on stage, happens all the time.

Backing up Chuck Berry at the Monterey Jazz Festival site. We never practiced with him and it was a fab show.

See most embarrassing moments

Weirdest BWGP moment (on or of stage):
Playing somewhere in Canada, and a drunken patron tried to climb onstage during the show and he knocked over "The Big Fella " sign which was this huge electronic billboard that was a part of our show. He tried to climb up behind it, knocked it over, it smashed into million pieces and he was left standing there, in front of a packed house and a pissed off band. I think he later plunged his hands into the kitchen french fry deep fryer because his girlfriend left him. Crazy night.

How do you explain your role in BWGP the 19th Annual Farwell Performance to new friends or colleagues who have never heard of BWGP and didn't know you have a secret closet life?
It's like the Seinfeld episode of your worlds colliding, so I just let it happen.
