What a party! This year was truly like no other. Mona could not come down early so the 'Other Half' rocked the house for two nights. Thanks Mikey! Then I got very sick and had to move a night back to the 12th. So sorry to those Redheads who couldn't stay to use their tickets. Speaking of that, it blew my mind how many virgins were in the house, hello new ticketing system! There seemed to be a significant number of fans in attendance who had never been able to get in before this year. And they were a wild crowd to say the least. Welcome to the Bash!

It was 1973 and I was on my first national tour. Montrose was a helluva band but then so was Aerosmith. I will never forget when we played Cobo Hall in Detroit that summer. They called it Rock City and we certainly did our part to make that the truth. Now it's four decades later, it's the Wabos doing Rock Candy not Montrose, but some things never change, I'm still back stage with my man Steven Tyler, and we are still havin' a great time together. I want to say it here and now, Steven is one of the greatest front men of all time.
