I guess I'm lucky.... Daryl Stuermer lives quite close here..... on the north side of Milwaukee, in WhiteFish Bay where I grew up....
Great guy, he does lots of local concerts which I usually try to make the time to see him... He does a bunch of radio spots on WKLH 96.5. I always enjoy seeing him, especially in the smaller more cozy venues... So much more ability to enjoy all the nuances of the presence he has... Great story music, how he takes you on those journeys of the mind. Its great the way he will project how, where, and when the songs came to him.
When I was young I dated one of his baby sitters and used to go over to see her at his house when they were out... Naughty...
Spent so many years listening to Genesis, they have had quite an amazing influence on my life from early on...
Thank you Daryl Steurmer, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett, Tony Banks, Chester Thompson, Bill Bruford, Peter Gabriel, Michael Rutherford and all the rest of the lesser know contributers that brought GENESIS into our lives and shaped our thoughts with their creative abilities.... You will not soon be forgotten..
I'll have to search out the new releases...
