Frampton REMAINS Alive!

Nothing to do with B2B Marcom. Everything to do with feeling great! My generation was totally captivated by "Peter Frampton":http://www.frampton.com/flash.html, especially during 1976-1977 (my high school senior year). This guy inspired thousands of us to pick up a guitar and play. During his reign as a rock & roll idol I met my wife. His music now evokes so many great memories from those days for us – things like my old '68 and '67 Camaros, my wife's '76 Firebird, miniature golf & movie dates, chasing our favorite local rock bands, and many, many more. So, it was with overwhelming appreciation that I (we) received two tickets to a local Frampton show from our sons as a Father's Day gift. My wife and I were amazed to arrive (last night) and find that our seats were front and center – just a few feet away from the legend himself. Thanks guys!I am so glad to say that Peter Frampton is as good as he ever was. So exciting and full of energy. And, he remains a great showman. His latest album earned a 2007 Grammy award if you need further evidence of his continuing musical expertise. I was surprised to learn that photography was allowed (no flash). Being a marcom guy, I had my camera at the ready. Sorry my shots are a bit blurry. PS: As an added bonus, a talented young drummer from a tiny village in our vicinity has been drumming with Peter for a while. Can you imagine this scenario?: * you live in the "smallest of rural towns – out in the middle of nowhere":http://www.city-data.com/city/Verona-New-York.html * amazingly, "the Oneida nation builds a huge resort and casino in your tiny town":http://www.turningstone.com/ * you work like a dog to get your big break * you break into the big time, drumming for Trisha Yearwood * you get the call to drum for Peter Frampton * you get to play with a legend in your home town, in the awesome resort Cool! Congratulations to "Shawn Fichter":http://www.google.com/search?q=%22shawn+fichter%22&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8! That's him in the bottom of the second image. Rock on, Shawn. OK – flashback time:
