I've seen the man several times live both with DJ BMF and his 17 piece band. He is an
amazing human being. Not only is he older and kooler than my grandparents, he has more
energy than I do. He spends his sets either playing a varity of insurments or
screaming, hooting and jumping around the stage, or chastizing the crowd for their lack
of insanity compared to his. Every show has been an event, not only for the music but
just to watch Sam the Man himself.

The reason I mention all this is because I just found out that this man is
73 years old!!! I think it's amazing that someone of his age would even be
playing anything, but to know that he's continuing to move forward and
going for that next level makes him even more unique. He's way cooler than
my grandparents, and he's older!
