This made my day, Steve. I think many of us were waiting for any of this back story to surface someday. It's also good to have you back in the Metroplex.
Quick side story - I had the honor of Steve being the guest artist at my high school where I got to play South 21st, Fireshaker, and Coconut S. with him blowin' the whole time. What a kick! (I'm sure I have some video around here somewhere of that). To follow, the honor continued with Steve being our jazz director in big band and combo at UTA for a time. Ah, memories...
