Grazie per la visita, 訪問していただきありがとうございます, תודה על הביקור , Thank you for visiting.







So I was visiting and my host gave me this paper he had saved. He came across this paper that was of an interview I did. One of my favorite stories, I'll spare you from having to strain your eyes "Like I am" to read it and just tell you about it.



I was touring through Reno, NV (The Biggest Little City) as the sign reads as you enter. It was early and I thoughjt I'd stop at a friendly diner with a band buddy and get something to eat. As we sat at the counter and looked at all the patrons eating, being all engaged in there own conversations while eating. A nice peaceful scene but thought to myself, "What could be done to make this day really somethin' different". I thought about it while eating and enjoying the easy goin' atmosphere and mixed clientel.



Old couples from out of town, local teenagers laughin' and carryin' on, moter cycle types in tattooes and leather all just eatin' -their- meals in -their- own little circles.....



What could bring everyone something different about this day, some event to get this day unlike any other day. I told my buddy, this is gonna be great, as I called the waitress over and said, "Please go and get everyones 'check" for me I'm buyin' everyones meal.



Shocked at first then pleasantly excited, she gathered all the checks and made the Announcement. "EVERYBODY This gentllmen just bought all your meals!!!



Silence at first, then EXCITED whoops of fun and glee. The Teens shoutin' wow I should of eaten' more, the Bikers given me the big smile and nods. Then group by group as they left came over to shake my hand and genuinely thank me for such a great surprise and kindness that really changed there day.



My favorite was the old couple that came over, Shook my hand and said, "If you ever get to Wisconson, you come over our house for dinner!"... (Whenever I"m in Wisconson I go door to door lookin' for that couple!! LOL)



My buddy who was also glad I piccked up his check as well said, "Well what was that all about"???

I thought about it and said, "Picture the lone cowboy ridin' off in the sunset, tumble weed rollin' and " The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" whistle theme in your ear," and I said,' IT was about "The Day Don Schiff Came TO Town!"
