i should have looked at them before i spoke andy. i tought my memory could handle it. and should have know hurcs to high drums. sorry about that. next time i'l take the time to research. my bad.

i have the scores. and yes glen you are right. bucs drumline won it for then along with m&m.

do you remember that night? it was a great show. and why fleetwood didn't record it i just don't get.

yup. and the memories last a lifetime. and really we were all stars in our own right.

i was so lucky brother. those guys were men and they were like extra fathers to me. my dad was a contractor and he couldn't watch me all the time and my mom couldn't handle me at all , god rest their souls. so cru watched over me..

we all know your a blowhard anyway tom.............LOL.

i was always a crusader.when in elemetary school vince bruni was my gym teacher. he knew my parents very well. in 1964 he saw me start hanging around with some older kids in a gang. so he intervened. he started to take me to crusader rehearsals. i enjoyed it. it kept me off the streets. that year in september there was a show in syracuse and he took me. that was the show that put cru on the map. they beat the cabs. now i was hooked. i spent 1965 going to rehearsals and a few local shows. tournament of drums and some others.i did the same in 1966. then the A.L. NATS was in washington. and bob ashto took me to it. it was exciting. prelims one day finals the next. i really wanted to be in cru. we all remember the fiasco on the field. in october of that year bruni said you look old enough now ans said i could join. so 1967 was my rookie year and i never looked back. i wouldn't trade it for anything. and it kept me out of jail.

i didn't know sturtze taught you. you were lucky. i'm surprised ya didn't end up with the hurcs. iwas was taught by colin campbell and steve gadd. guess i was lucky to.

i had one of those. it was a 1964 chevy impala. ran good but the body was all rust and full of holes. if the street snow melted it i rean over the pudlle and it was big enough water came in the passenger floor.

aww ya know i was just ####### around.
