Back in the day, 1972, we would go to K-SHE night at the many drive in theater. It's the oldest rock station in the country and it's right here in St Louis. You would go to the studio window while they were on the air and knock on it and they would give you free passes. One night we were in the front row by the screen and they introduced this band from Texas. They played for awhile and the drummer broke one of his sticks and he threw it at me, mind you we were sitting on the ground 20 feet away. I took it home and just kept it. Years later after I got married my wife asked me for a stick to put in her plant to hold it up. I gave her that drum stick and that was the end of that. As the plant got bigger she needed a longer stick so I cut her one and put away the drum stick, why, just because. Years later it hit me after they became famous I had something pretty cool. You see that basically unknown band was to become..........ZZ TOP..... LOL . You can't make that up!!!
