We Got A Chance To Go And

In January Of 1995, My Family And I Moved To Seattle. Pearl Jam Did The First Of Their Live Radio Broadcasts, Monkey Wrench Radio, Along With Many Other Seattle Musicians.

I Could Not Finish The Rest Of The Tours The Band Had Planned. I Was Replaced By Matt Cameron. The Next Years Of My Life Were About Recovery, Healing, And Right Living. I Never Lost The Need To Create.

I Remember A Tour Where We Played 50 Cities In 56 Days. We Also Went To Europe A Couple Of Times.

I Began Both Auditioning With Pearl Jam And Recording For Eleven. In The Fall Of 1994, I Joined Pearl Jam.

We Were Playing A Small Club In San Diego And The Power Had Gone Out In The Building. Eddie Had A Lighter And Kept Us Lit Backstage. We Became Very Good Friends And Spent A Lot Of Time Together Including Hearing Eddie Sing In Some Of The Bands He Was In At The Time.
