  • This was a blast

    Never would have guessed David Cassidy was one of Henry’s favorite bands. Loved hearing the story’s about some of the most epic shows of modern times. Lots of fun and very informative. Marcel and Henry make a cool team of “Geezers” who sure do know their craft. Thanks for the fun! -Marc
