Really nice story Norm. I had a similar experience in front of the Indian Casino after that same configuration played there. Nick sat down on a bench next to me to wait for their limo while I was waiting for my car and we had a nice visit. All had been most gracious back stage signing guitars and visiting too. That was when Ben was traveling with them...now there's somebody I wish would come to camp! Somebody swing by Estes Park, Co and pick him up!
