Members Thunderbroom Posted July 15, 2009 Members Share Posted July 15, 2009 On Monday, my wife and I flew out to Vegas (still here) for a few days. On the plane I struck up a conversation with my seat mates. The guy setting next to me told me he was a drummer. I'm thinking "cool". Ultimately I find out that he's been playing professionally forever and has been Ramsey Lewis' drummer since 2001. He was a really, really nice guy. His name is Leon Joyce.

Members Thunderbroom Posted July 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 15, 2009 Updated my thread title...heading out to enjoy Vegas for another day... Last night my wife and I went to see Penn & Teller at the Rio. There was a jazz duo playing when we got there...piano and upright bass. I quickly realized it was Penn Jillette!! He was somewhat incognito though I can't believe more people didn't realize it was him. He was really good I thought. He slipped in the intro to "Blister in the Sun" during one of their jazz numbers. It was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
