I have been going to the winter NAMM show for about 20 years straight. It is filled with musicians and I have met many over the years. Some of the names I can recall off the top of my head... Bono, Bootsy Collins, Dick Dale, George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, Carlos Santana, Pat Simmons, Patrice Rushen and scores of session musicians. My favorite experience was sitting with Skunk Baxter (Steely Dan, Doobie Bros) and discussing planes and defense systems. Outside of NAMM, I have met most of Devo, Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, Jackson Browne, Dave Grohl (at his studio scene in the movie Sound City), Supertramp (drove them to their hotel after a show), Bo Diddley (had drinks with him), Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Koz, Spencer Davis, Brian Auger and several more whose names escape me at the moment.
