I have had the good fortune to sit in with the great Joey Ramone (live), the lovely Ronnie Spector (live), the rock historian Lenny Kaye (live).  I also had the good fortune to
audition for Mike Monroe, the Dictators and Cheetah Chrome (but I didn't get any of those gigs).

It's been pretty good so far...
