I got to sit in with a bunch of rock luminaries at May Pang's birthday bash: Joe Bouchard, 12 string guitar (Blue Oyster Cult), Michael Cartellone, drums (Lynard Skynard) My cousin Peter Santora - far left - on guitar (Beatlemania), Jon Paris on guitar, Benny Harrison on Hammond B3 and Ian McDonald (King Crimson) - what fun! All I have to say is, "I gotta have more cowbell!"
