I remember one day when Vic was teaching me the intro to The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" I started to pick the strings wrong and discovered that it was almost the same chord structure to Ten Years After's "I'd Love to Change the World" and we both said.. Well, how about that?

Ha-Ha, boy those were the days!!! Jamming in the basement of Vic's parents' house in Plainville,Vic/guitar, my cousin Mark/guitar,Jeff W./guitar, Rich S./bass, John P./drums (me/guitar, (when they'd let me play) HA-HA) along with quarts of beer... life was fun.

I still have Fates Warnings first vinyl LP "Night on Bröcken" somewhere buried in my closet along with all my guitars, & amp, etc...

Thank you Mitch for posting that about the new album. You have brought up some fond memories of "In the days of my youth"!!!
