?-let's assume you said sure, tell me?-
It was 1973 and I was in the cafeteria at Rubin Hall, my dorm on 5th Ave, about 9th or 10th st., having dinner, when someone came rushing in and whispered to our table that Stevie, who had a permanent suite in the hotel across the street, was in rehearsals in the hotel basement. We dropped everything, i ran up to my room and grabbed my camera and tape recorder and altho I almost got my ass tossed out of there a couple of times, I managed to pop off a few pictures AND record quite a bit of his rehearsal. I've still got the cassette tape somewhere.
Not only is it a cool story and a cool pic, you read my mind because I did in fact say to myself "sure, tell me".
So, has Stevie officially retired or what? We haven't heard a peep out of him for quite awhile now.

Didn't he just release a new album, like two years ago maybe? Or is that still pending?
You're right. I remember hearing the released single on the radio.
What the Fuss", I think.
I was just reading that he's released only three albums in the last 20 years!
He's currently on a U.S. tour, doing sold-out shows all over and getting great reviews too. They say the Wonderboy has still got it.
I've seen him twice, not counting his rehearsal. Incredible.
