I've been lucky. I've met John Blackwell, Dennis Chambers, Steve Jordan(David Letterman's first drummer), Chester Thompson(I've since met his son and become very cool with him), Will Kennedy, Bernard Purdie, Gerald Heyward, and a few more. I can say they have all been cool people. Sometimes, approach makes all the difference with certain people.
b4 i met CALVIN i thought he was gonna have a BOBBY's WORLD HEAD..man was i wrong, dude was humble he opened about some things he was going through, transitions he was making in his life in his playing as an md..it bugged me out cuzz there were 100's of people around and he was sitting on the couch by HIMSELF..so u know me, i grabbed a shovel walked over and started digging for info... he was even telling me things i didnt wanna know, like how fast he runs a 40 yard dash,how he wanted to be a fireman when he was little how he prefers red hot instead of tobasco...lol now but overall he's humbel as all outdoors..
