Backstory:
I believe this was my second NAMM convention (National Association of Music Merchants),
world's largest music products industry trade show event held every January in Anaheim, California.
Closed to the public, it's amazing to see tons of famous musicians walking around the convention hall
in support of their sponsor or latest signature guitar or amplifier.
This year, I came prepared with a pen and scratch pad I picked up at a hotel.
My personal high light was finally meeting and chatting with the great Eric Carr of KISS.
He was smiling with a bounce in his step but man, his hair was huge!
Eric's official height is 5'7" but with his hair, I think was around 6 and a half feet (slight exaggeration ... just slight).
A great guy and so so nice. He is truly missed.
