<< == Filling in for my friend Dave Getz with Big Brother and the Holding Company Sept. 5th 2015 at The Pig Out In The Park Festival in Spokane, Washington with Tom Odetto, Peter Albin, Darby Gould, and Tom Finch. We played almost the entire Cheap Thrills album and a whole lot more BB classics. For me, it was a Cheap Thrill of the highest order. Some of my most fun gigs have been as a sub. I'm thinking of putting this on my tombstone- "Here lies David Rokeach..... The regular guy couldn't make it." ;-)
