eep. hope everything's okay.

Although I am living in Texas, I was born in raised in Idaho. Here's what Wiki says:

"Idaho has produced a number of musicians and bands, including pop star Paul Revere and Doug Martsch of Built to Spill. Nikki Sixx (bassist of glam metal band Mötley Crüe) grew up in Jerome, Idaho. Moscow, Idaho is also the home town of modern folk/country/indie songwriter Josh Ritter. Rosalie Sorrels is also a renowned folk singer as well as Lee Penn Sky, and Norm Weinstein is a prominent critic known in the jazz world."

And one more from my hometown:

"Steve Isham's humble beginnings in Pocatello eventually led him to the band Autograph and the hit song "Turn Up the Radio."

"The keyboardist joined up with Gary Moon, who later replaced Jack Blades in the band Night Ranger to form The Pack, and he later went on to tour as the drummer for Vince Neil's solo act. Remaining active in the music business throughout the ensuing years, Isham passed away on December 9, 2008 at the age of 56 after battling liver cancer."

Kiss

The Dictators (partied with most of them, had a woman in common with one of them)

Mariah was working out of a studio I was on Long Island (mid '80'ish.) She never gave the guy props when she took off. Such is life. Thanks for filling in my less than complete list.
I learned some new things.
