Great story! Dave Dederer (guitar in PUSA) met Mike Jagger in LA at a studio where Don Was was working with them and with us (mixing the George of the Jungle movie opening song that we wrote and recorded with Don). Dave said he was in the lounge at one point when Mick walked in to get a cuppa coffee without noticing Dave. The moment he noticed Dave his demeanor changed and he went into Mick Jagger mode twitching and telling stories about the old days while bopping around the room. A true performer! Another great Donny Ienner moment there too!
Hi Chris- I did not know that you worked with Don Was! I would love to hear all about that! Re: Mick... it must be so weird to be that famous. And for that long.
Wow, Amazing! 🤩 it’s almost like you’re in a hotel room playing Small Time Blues with Elaine and the famous people don’t just pass bye in the hall, they stop in to watch a movie and give you backstage passes 😁
This story is amazing. Meeting your heroes is cool, being able to sit around and watch a movie with your heroes sound way way better. Thank you for sharing!
HI Jeff... the tales will keep coming... working on a post today about the first time I opened for Neil Young at an unannounced warm-up show at The Warfield in SF.
Pete Thorn forever!! Diggin' the thorn mini-series. What's next miniseries gonna be?
There is a well-known guitarist named Pete Thorn. so the name is taken. Oh well.
Glad you are digging the mini-series. Next, Neil Young in two parts.

Hi Doug. Exactly!!! And not just any old backstage pass.

Thanks, Jacob. I'm happy to share.
I love this story, particularly over how Ronny got your names wrong. Thanks for the big smiles.
He may have thought we were a family band. Happy that the post got you smiling!
Great stuff! Funny, too. I guess you never got to meet Mick?
Thanks... Nope. Did not meet Mick.
I love to hear about stars getting star-struck.
Keep the good tales coming!
Thanks for the look behind the scenes Pete!
