“You never know that this is the moment when you're in the moment. When I was sixteen I moved to a smaller town in Vermont, and at that time I didn't have a band to play in. So I was forced to play in Top 40 bands and fraternity bands and wedding bands. That was all pop music, but I was listening to Weather Report and classical music.

And suddenly I was among my ilk.” KnowsPlayMomentsCollegeListeningBandTownsMovedPopsWeatherReportsClassical MusicPop MusicSixteenFraternityVermontWedding Band Author:Stuart Hamm
