Well, I'm at home today, and low and behold who calls me out of the blue, Doug Piercy of Heathen/Anvil Chorus........He now lives in Dusseldorf, Germany(for many years now), last time I saw him was on The Gathering Tour in 2000. Anyway he's doing fine, has a wife and 2 kids, and doing the family thing.....we talked about old times, like Baloff in Heathen, TOTT, Anvil Chorus, & the 80's......we are both happy that we both lived through those wonderful dream years.....also he says he just started a new band 2 weeks ago, not named yet, but that its a guitar orientated, fast at times but with some Rush chords, thrown in, so its a cross between Classic & Thrash....Doug's one of the older Metal Heads around, so I've known him longer than most, since I'm ancient as well.........he's a great guitar player, & anyone who does not have the first 2 Heathen albums, you should........anyway it was a 20 minute phone call that meant alot to me, & I thought I'd share it........
