40 years of a musical friendship

40 years ago today, I met Darren Kuper in a music theory class. My life has not been the same.  He was reading a Guitar World magazine; we struck up a conversation. Only about a month later, we began making music together, and we've been making music together ever since.

We've also had prodigious amounts of coffee together, quite a bit of Scotch, and our fair share of champagne, plus a zillion laughs, a radio show, parties, weddings, and three-quarters of a lifetime of companionship in the deepest sense of the term. 

40 years! 

Darren, you're a true gentleman, a great drummer, and a good friend.
