Gary grew up about 15 miles down the road from me. He's a local legend around here and I've seen him play many times on open mic jam nights around town. He really was a great person and very down to earth.
I was kind of hoping when I went to go see REO a few years back at the Peoria Civic Center that Gary would show up and do an impromtu guest appearance with the band, but alas he didn't.
If you think REO is great in concert, you should hear them when they come home and play for basically what they consider to be their original fan base from college. They pump it up a few notches to say the least.
Needless to say, there will be a lot of REO being selected on the Touch Tunes around here for a few weeks I'm sure...
