Future in the Past
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.
We just did our last gig of the tour in Cincinnati and it was fantastic. Brad Whitford from The A-Smiths joined us onstage for Mas Tequila. I'm serious, I love that guy. He was on the side of the stage for our set every single night. Sorry to see the end of this road but it's that time again. What time is it? C'mon now, It's Chickenfoot time!! Chad, Mike and Jojo together again. Indio, Tahoe, hello? And then it's not too long before the Bash. I hope you got tickets. See you there...
Peace
Sammy

ain't that the truth Harleymomma? Sammy definitley proves that the old "age is just a number" saying is true ...even in person you'd never believe his chronological age. I hope whatever his secret is, it's contagious!!
Love the picture...hard to believe you guys are the same age...Sammy you look 10 yrs younger...sorry Steven...enjoyed your show in Houston...next stop Cabo...
Sammy:
Heading to Cabo for Bash show #1 & #4....oh yeah, and my wedding on the 10th!! Can't wait. You'll be the last show we see as a single couple and the 1st as a married couple. (You were also the 1st metal show I ever took her to)
Thanks for being you!

Hey Sammy, thanks for the great show in Cincinnati! I agree Steven Tyler is one of the best rock frontmen, but you are right up there also, and don't forget Paul Stanley, he's pretty damn good too. I was lucky enough to see three of the greats this past week, KISS in Atlanta Tuesday night, you and the Wabos with Aerosmith Thursday night in Cincinnati. What a great week! You and the Wabos sounded great as usual, loved the set list. Can't wait to hear some new Chickenfoot. Thanks again Sammy for a great rock n' roll evening, you never disappoint!
Totally awesome show last night in Cincinnati, Sammy!!! Chrissy & I were blown away by seeing you guys & Aerosmith in one show!! Love the picture of you guys together! I really loved your inspi(red) shirt last night too!! I am always inspired by the Red Rocker!! Thanks for making Chrissy's dream of seeing her two favorite bands in one show come true! I've never seen Cincinnati rock so good!!

See you in Tahoe, was not going to use my tickets I got in June for Tahoe concert after my soulmate of 29 years passed last week, but after everyone telling me I have to go.................I'm going!
Looking forward to Indio. Still jam to the current music.......hope for a TASTE o' the new!!! Bring it on....
OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE I WILL BE THERE IN INDIO TO SEE YOU IN JUST A WEEK!!!! Two long months I have been waiting and it's almost here....I'm telling you if anyone who sees this has any clout whatsoever, and wants to give this girl the best birthday gift on the planet, you tell Sammy and the boys I am flying 2300 miles JUST FOR THEM...and if any power on this planet will give me the honor of getting to meet them and thank them in person for being the four most talenetd and entertaining guys in the universe, I would be eternally greatful, you have no idea what this trip means to me. I ♥ YOU SAMMY, I ♥ Chickenfoot, and think my head is going to explode if I don't get to see you soon.
PEACE everyone!!
