Blue Collar Man (long nights) - Styx - Drum Cover

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot4]

For a 40 year old man starting out on drums, you are a true inspiration! Your dad must be proud! (I have a 12 year old too and an 18 year old.) Take care, and I'm looking forward to you someday in the future resurrecting classic rock among those of your generation, and leading the way in a successful, worldwide- touring rock band!

Really amazing!

Has Neil ever thought to sing too?

[rennieallen]

@gameboyswebmaster

Ha! Yes, he's thought about singing... but I think he may be a late bloomer in the vox department :-)
