NFT: Share something interesting about yourself

What's a cool little quirk you have going for you? I'll start. I'm 31 and (knock on wood) I've never had to get prescription medication before. At least not since I've been old enough to actually remember it.

What's a fun fact that'll get you a "wow, seriously tho?" in a bar conversation?

Hey, I'm a fife and drum guy too! I play with the Regulators, who are you with?

Also, I have been a snare drummer with the G-Line for the last 3 years so I get to go to most Giants home games and play the drum!!!!! (I'm the old guy in the middle)

I am a retired drummer. Still can play a good Crazy Army, though. Played as a youth with the Morris County Militia, Chatham NJ, around from 1969-1981, then disbanded. National champs at one point. 3 of our drummers went on to play with the Old Guard. We all got together and played in our town 4th of July parade for many years until our founder/leader passed. Last time was 2007. I included a video clip. I'm back row snare, far right.

djm : 11/3/2016 8:45 pm : link
I once went bowling up by the palisades mall and who was bowling in the lane directly next to us but Brandon Jacobs. It was the offseason leading up to the 2011 season where the NFL lockout loomed. I usually have nothing good or worthy to say when I meet a celebrity or star athlete but tonight was not one of those instances. I was ready. I didn't want to be a pain and bother him plus he was getting hit with a lot of fly by people so I figured I'd catch him quick and move on. I caught him real quick and just said I'm a big fan and more wished him good luck on the season and more importantly I hope the players union delivers you guys a better cba than last time because you deserve as much money as you can get. We shook hands he said thanks and that was that.

They record the speed of your throw when you bowl. I bowled a faster speed than Jacobs. Amazing.

Awesome! I came onto the scene just after that with the Young Colonials. I always wished there were some good videos of Morris County back in the day, I loved the few recordings I have heard! I have been lucky enough to jam many times with one of your drummers from TOG, Brian Pentony. We called him "Monster" when we were kids because drumming wise he was one! Also, I drummed quite a bit with Duke through the 80's and early 90's.

Wow, you have stirred up my fife and drum corps fervor. Brian was younger than I when he joined the corps. Turned into a fine, fine, drummer. Great family too. And when you say 'Duke', us drummers all know. He was our teacher all my years there. Loved that guy. He lived to drum and make music. I have a picture when I played banjo for him at a 4th of July picnic. Had him autograph it later. He immediately thought of my banjo parts and how he could incorporate them into drumming. Thanks for mentioning Duke. I'll send you the pic.

Neckbone1333 : 11/4/2016 5:59 am : link
Pissed and had a conversation 2 separate times, on 2 separate nights next to Derek Jeter at Club NV

Shared some fun party favors with Eric Dorsey at Club System

Worked a party for the Yankees in the VIP lounge, at the China Club, after the 1998 World Series win. Their bar tab was about $22K and a David Wells paid the bill and tipped the waitress $3K. She came over to me crying with happiness because she could pay her student loan off.

Sat next to actor, Roberto Begnini, in the VIP lounge at Club NV while he was hooking up with 2 chicks at the same time

Partied with Ralph Cirrella (Howard Stern's friend) and 4 dancers, in the VIP lounge at Club NV, and can assure you he is not even close to gay

Not in a club, but played blackjack next to Kurt Russell at the Atlantis, when I was 18 years old (now 40). We were very banged up and both yelling at the dealer because he sucked. Then Kate Hudson, who was about my age, and not really famous, came over to get him.

Have to have actor Tommy Davidson kicked out of the Soundfactory for grabbing a girl on the dance floor

It was a fun time in the late 90's and early 2000's
