I don't know if he was with Spyro Gyra, but he was with David Sanborn
on tour back in 1987.  I caught the show in Houston.  Hiram was playing
with a wireless feed and ran out the back of the auditorium during his
solo and ended up in the balcony playing a "Dueling Banjos"-type duet
w/ David on stage.

Which brings up an interesting point.  There are folks that want a total GE
boycott, being that GE makes not only nuclear reactors, but weapons, I think...

Anyway, I wonder if -anyone- out there with a "BOYCOTT GE" bumpersticker

Does anyone else scream "It's Paul!" when seeing certain old Saturday

fans. "Do you know that guy?" they ask. Then you get to spout mock

For the most part it's a lot heavier than 'Pretend We're Dead'.  The best

   Here I agree with you.  The drum kicking was kinda lame.  But considering
Sonic Youth's antics the show before, there must have been a lot of pressure
to do something memorable.  I taped the show, and no, the orange-haired gal
wasn't good looking at all.  In fact, the band was one of the scariest sights
I've ever seen in contemporary music and I watched them perform while hiding
under my bed.

   If you like metal at all, or even just want to get into it, L7 is a good
start.

Does anybody remember when Vince McMahon was a guest commentator on
Late Night with David Letterman around 1984 or 1985? I just remebered this,
and I thought it would be interesting to bring up on the net. This wasn't
the time he was a guest, but he was doing some type of interview with
Larry "Bud" Mellman on the New Year's Eve show. My memory is sketchy on
this one, but if anyone can clarify my story, please do.

The one comment that I do remember is Dave saying something to the effect of,
"Where the hell did we get this guy?"-of course, speaking about McMahon.

He explicitly would not give the airline's name for the obvious reason
that doing stuff like going into the cockpit and sitting at the controls
while the plane is flying is *very* illegal and could get the airline in

I remember, in the beginning Dave would just sorta frisbee the toast in 
to the audience. As the weeks went on he would comment about the aerodynamics 
of toast and soon he had a skeet shooter(the things that shoot clay pigeons 
into the air). He'd put a slice or two of toast on it and launch it into the 
audience. The best part was when they first had the skeet shooter and it was 
angled too low, so it pegged the camera men instead of going into the 
audience. The whole series of toast flying episodes was a riot.

If Dave wants to screw around with someone who is on the show to promote
something or just to be seen, that's fine.  But if someone who is interesting
is on, Dave should just turn it down a little and let us watch.  Otherwise,
if Dave just can't stop, done't have any "demonstration-type" guests at all.
