    FROM THE KID IN THAT VIDEO: HEY ALL!!! I am Jeff, the fan in the video. A friend of mine just recently linked this video to me and I am in utter-shock and disbelief over the amount of amazingly kind and generous comments on this video as well as the fact that it has reached 1.5 million views. A true dream of mine came true that night and I never in a million years thought it would garner any attention yet alone this much. It truly warms my heart and makes me feel better about the sometimes non-reassuring career path, music, that I have chosen!
    A few things to address:
    1. I can confidently tell anyone that has any disbelief, that this was by no means planned at all! I have seen Gary perform many other times. On one occasion I was 13 and he handed me a guitar pic from the stage. Another time in 2016 I met him after a show at The Stone Pony and gave him my hat. He remembered me from that encounter, hence the comment “I don’t still have the hat,” but he had no assured knowledge I can play the guitar. He was being the truly generous person he is and took a chance on me, a chance I will forever be grateful for!
    2. Thank you for all the comments, positive or negative, I take them all to heart and hope that each and every comment will only help me further my musicianship!! Although, a few of the comments about my “moving” on stage were a bit harsh, I understand where everyone is coming from and respect your point of view. I, however, was not intending to steal any spotlight or show off. I was nervous and playing with my idol in front of thousands of people. I was simply feeling the music in the same way everyone from Jerry Lee Lewis to Angus Young to Chuck Berry have been known to do. Regardless I still take all criticism to heart and hope to learn from what everyone has to say!
    If anyone has any questions or comments or even wants to jam or inquire about any music/booking information you can find my email and social media in the “about” section of my channel. I would be more than happy to chat!
    Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
    Peace, Love and Music,
    Jeff Tallman

The kid shows unbelievable chops and poise. GCJ and his band of consummate professionals support the guest and let him enjoy a few moments breathing the rarified air of being a star on stage playing before a generous audience, loving it and lapping up. Hugs to one and all. Every time I'm down, watching this always puts a smile on my face.
