Here is Ron Wikso getting his rental drumset ready for the sound check at the Gregg Rolie concert yesterday. I've known Ron a few years now, but this is only the second show I've seen. It was fun to see a band setting up from the stage side. It's really not that much different than any other band setup other than there are more people helping get the work done.I got to park backstage and watch the dude from Supertramp, Roger Hodgson doing his show. I ended up with a VIP wrist band for Roger Hodgson. I guess this would have allowed me to go have dinner or snacks with him in his backstage trailer. I chose to hangout with the Gregg Rolie band instead. By the way, his Supertramp show was a bit different in that he was solo without a band.
Also watched the band Ambrosia from backstage. Met the lead singer with Ron. He sounded like the orginial singer, but looked like Elton John. Seemed nice enough. Had a nice voice.
I enjoyed Ron's drum solo too!
