Thanks, Reggie!!

P.S. All these great guitarists look to be very fond of Neal; also notice that David Pack is one of their admirers...

i was standing there when that happened. i didnt even think to take a pic!! thx for the link!

actually, i was hanging out with a young guitar player that i met on myspace. patrick DeCoste. check him out. he's from Boston. he was playing a Lukather left handed guitar for me and Luke was just right there. was way cool.

Deb, next time you're standing that close to Neal would you give him a big ol' hug and kiss from me (fredinator) and tell him thanks ever so much for all the beautiful, spirit-lifting music, dedication and happy memories? Also, now that I think of it, could you give him another big ol' kiss and hug from me for quitting smoking and drinking? Let's see if I can think of some more reasons to hug and kiss him, lol!!

I think I already did. he was talking about it and I instinctively reached over and touched his arm. and then I caught myself rubbing his arm. Then, sez I, you're doing a good job-you look great and I'm proud of you. IMADORK!!!! OMGOSH!!!! but just cuz he's a rock dawg doesn't mean he doesn't need and deserve a little compassion and encouragement. He seemed sincere and so very focused on his project. My Mimi-ness kicked in, I guess.

but no, I didn't kiss him on the cheek.

**Sigh** Very sweet. I love that.

I so envy you for being at Namm & one day I hope I can attend.


I'm sure you exhalted Neal with your genuine affection. He's a man & a rock gawd...deep down he is a good guy so kudos to you!

For me Journey has always been the voice of Steve Perry. Sorry Neal...LOL I have wanted for much but settled for less but in Sept of 08 my eyes met with those of Steve Perry. I had just gotten out of the hospital from a bad 10 ft fall . In the hospital in my delirium I thought of Steve Perry & Jeff Scott Soto amongst a few others who seem to have followed me thru time/ A few weeks later there was Steve in my life looking at me & I had to decide if I should approach him. Steve looked so good that I had to take the opportunity to say hello. I did & it was magic. In between the cheese & icecream ailse we came together & we smiled & laughed about old times & agr4eed life was sweet. He reached out his hand to me to ask my name & I was so honored. We talked of pizza which some day it would be my honor to make for him & left each other with a smile. I will forever remember that day!
