Absolutely one of the coolest interviews that I have ever listened to. I’m only 46 but growing up in the 70’s, being a musician and my love of music, it was so cool to hear a first hand view/encounter of different things that took place at that time with some of my favorite bands. Not to mention Dave being from my neck of the woods made it even that much cooler. I sure wish we could go back to those times, in every which way.
