Interesting, I met him at a demo that Geoff Downes was doing at a NAMM show.  It seems to me that he was playing in a Yes cover group in Sacramento at the time…….it was many years ago……at least I think it was him…..

 

Cheers,

 

Gary

He does have a real one, but I don't think he takes it on the road.

He's a lying bastard. I know him, but I did no such thing.

I asked him about the tron and he told me he had it custom made by Frank Stickle.
