I met Mike Stern after a show of his at the blue note. He was cool, I didn't speak to him that much, but he seemed like a nice guy. He sorta looks like a bum, his hair covers his face, speaks real soft. If he didn't have a guitar i wudda given him a quarter. Not much of a story, hehe. He's a great guitarrist though, if you don't know him, check him out. He played with miles davis in the 70s, then got into fusion. He's got a real distinctive sound.
