I remember that BS gig...she introduced the band and stopped at Chad's
name...then said how cool is it to have the name Wackerman as a drummer!

There's a British band called 'It Bites' that had a hit song in the 1980s but most of their music is prog rock. I went on Sunday with a drummer friend to see one of their gigs in London. Francis Dunnery whose band it is, hired Chad to do an album and four gig dates. I shot this with my phone and it sounds pretty decent. The first couple of minutes give some context and then the rest of it is Francis and Chad trading guitar and drum breaks. Some cool stuff. After the gig we were standing around talking and noticed Steve Wilson from PT was there and standing a few feet away from us. :) He was doing selfies with some others. A very fun night!

He is smooth. Has his own thing going on, plays just like he did in 1981 with Zappa.

a student for years. It's old school but what happened back in the day,
