I saw him back in the 80's. Journey was the main act, with Pat Benatar and Eddie Money also on the ticket. It was raining off and on with several delays. Just as Journey started playing, the clouds opened up and a ray of sunshine bathed the band. It was pretty cool, but I don't know how they pulled that off! miley-shocked003:

Anyway, Eddie Money played all his hits flawlessly, and the whole show was pretty good.

Gone too soon.

RIP.

Wife and I were at a fair (St Mary's Oyster Bake, part of SA Fiesta) a few years ago. I'm were sitting on the grass, eating festival food, and I remark, this guy really sounds like Eddie Money. My wife agrees. Starts "I Think I'm In Love" and she says "It IS Eddie Money!"

MrN,

Not quite. He never finished the training. Moved to CA for music instead.
