Well, except for when Jon was ill on tour and Pete Gallagher had to fill in for him.
Oh, that's right. Still, Jon was ill, and it's not like Al said "Hmmm, this Gallagher fella is okay...probably cheap too..."*

*Ironically enough, this is the EXACT phrase that started the "comedian" Gallagher's career. Though the person saying it was drunk, high and dead.

Again, HAPPY THIRTIETH!!!

I would hope Pete got paid the going rate, whatever that was. But how lucky was it that when Jon couldn't play, they just happened to have a really excellent drummer RIGHT THERE, already traveling with the tour?

Pete is the other member of Steve Jay's band Ak and Zuie. He could have been traveling with the band so that he and Steve could play shows on the off days, or perhaps he helped out as crew.

As mentioned, Pete Gallagher is Steve's longtime friend and collaborator (here he is playing with Steve in the "Can't Wait Long" video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHejlwkvAR8). IIRC, he was working as Jim's guitar tech on that tour, mostly so that he and Steve could go off and be Ak & Zuie on the days when Al didn't have a show. He only did it for that tour, though. He plays with two or three (or maybe more) bands here in SoCal.
