AMAZING PEOPLE WE MEET ..

BEING ON THE ROAD, WE GET TO MEET SOME AMAZING PEOPLE SOME TIMES.ONE SUCH PERSON IS DAVE WALKER ,OUR DRIVER AND T SHIRT GUY .HE HAS BEEN WITH US ON A NUMBER OF TOURS NOW AND WE SPEND DAYS AND WEEKS TOGETHER ,CRAMMED IN A VEHICLE , AND WE GET TO TALK ABOUT ALL SORTS OF TOPICS .NOW THEN .... I KNEW DAVE HAD LED AN INTERESTING LIFE, HE WAS A BASS PLAYER IN A BAND, HE MANAGES BANDS ,AND APART FROM ALL THE OTHER STUFF HES BEEN INVOLVED WITH,TO MANY TO MENTION HERE , HE ALSO HAS HAD THE INCREDIBLE JOB OF BEING OPERATIONS MANAGER ON THE TITANIC DIVES ..HE HAS BEEN DOWN TO THE WRECK 0F THE TITANIC 3 TIMES, AND BOUGHT ARTIFACTS TO THE SURFACE ON MANY OCCASIONS, HUDDLED WITH OTHER RUSSIAN DIVERS , FOR HOURS AT AN END IN THE DARK FREEZING COLD ,OF A SUBMERSSIBLE,FILMING ,COLLECTING AND IN COMMAND OF SOMETHING THAT COULD VERY EASILY GO WRONG AT ANY GIVEN TIME .LIKE FOR INSTANCE WHEN THEY GOT STUCK IN THE PROPELLORS OF THE DEAD SHIP AND HAD TO WAIT TILL ALL THE DEBRIS AND MUCK STIRRED UP BEFORE THE OTHER SHIP COULD SHOW THEM LIGHT AFTER IT ALL SETTLED .. CAN YOU ONLY IMAGINE THAT FEELING ......? AND UPON SPENDING HOURS AND HOURS COMING UP FROM THE DEPTHS, TO BE BUFFETED ABOUT LIKE A CORK , WITH THE TOWROPE BROKEN , WITH 60 FOOT WAVES , SENDING THE SUB FURTHER AWAY FROM THE RECOVERY VEHICLE, AT NIGHT NO LESS .. HES DONE THIS 3 TIMES AS I SAID BEFORE ......................IT KIND OF PUTS THE LIKES OF WHAT I DO INTO PERSPECTIVE A BIT DONT YOU THINK?
THE GIG WAS GREAT BY THE WAY.I LOVE ST LOUIS.WE ALL DO . THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT CROWD TONITE .BUT I WILL BE THINKING MORE ABOUT BEING DOWN AMONGST THE SILENCE TONIGHT, MORE THAN THE ROAR OF THE CROWD....SEE YA !!!!!!!!!1
