I saw Barrett Deems play at Andy's in Chicago, and had the opportunity to
spend some quality time with him at one of the Bix Festivals in Davenport
back in the '80s.  We watched each other play drums at Hunter's club in Rock
Island at an after hours jam.  One of my prized possessions is an
autographed photo of Barrett which he signed, "To Kurt - The world's SECOND
fastest drummer."  What a guy.
