Robby showed up tonight at Peace Frog's gig in Venice CA and played about 40 minutes worth of music, including Light My Fire. As a keyboardist who first picked up the book in 81 and the first album, to get to play with Robby ( I already did for a few minutes four years ago) finally for real was something I will never forget. Should have pics soon. I have a couple on my phone but I still have to figure out how to hook it up to my computer, can't find the Bluetooth connection on my XP.

Great story John, thanks. 8)
I've got to get to the Venice Bistro and check out PF one of these Sundays. Last night should have been the night I guess, lol.

No, but hearing him do those jazz rythm parts while I soloed was incredible. I haven't heard anybody else do that yet.

I always spend our break in my car preparing for the second set listening to the tunes, eating and getting ready so that's why I'm not in the group shot. This sucks!!!! I was told that Robby was telling my band mates some cool stories about where many of the songs were written and early life in Venice. The place was nearly empty for the first set and was packed during the second (which is normal) and simply exploded when Robby sat in. He watched part of the second set from the balcony right above me and I kept exchanging smiles with him and gave me a thumbs up after Riders On The Storm. He said "no pressure" but you know damn well this was a million pounds of pressure on me. While watching us he also seemed pretty interested in the acoustic parts of Spanish Caravan I was recreating on my keyboard with a guitar patch, (after the intro when the band starts) our guitar player plays the chords while I play those licks. A great night.

I remember that..
She didn't shake my hand.
It was bizarre.
