Stewart Copeland Signing

On Wednesday night, we went up to the Guitar Center on Sunset so Bill could meet Stewart Copeland (drummer for the Police) and get a few things signed. We had to wait in line melting in the hot sun for several hours before we got the relief of shade. Talkative and nice guy Ludwig on one side, and Johnnie a very nice ex-drummer with alot of cool tattoos on the other. When we got to go in, the line moved quickly and when I asked Steward to sign my photo he said exactly what I fantasized he would! (how often does THAT happen?!) He said it was a great photo and asked where I got it. When I told him I took it, he was really impressed and his manager gave me her card to see about using the photo for some Tama drum promotions. Pretty sweet eh? Anyway, Bill got to shake his hand and had him sign the big Andy Summers book, so the evening was a success. Topped off by the world's greatest cream puffs at Beard Papa at Hollywood & Highland.
