You never know who you’re going to run into in the Hilton lobby during NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants).

NAMM puts on several big industry events each year. They’re sort of like SXSW for the music industry.

This is at NAMM 2014. On the first day of the convention, I wandered in and found Todd La Torre, lead singer of Queensryche, sitting at the table next to where Leon Hendrix, Jimi’s brother was.

Two of my favorite clients right next to each other and they had never met or knew of their connection through me.

Introductions were made and the picture was a must.

Just one of a thousand stories that week as I was down there for NAMM in Ahaheim and Grammy Week in LA.
