So Duke told (drummer) Devon Ashley that his hair reminded him of Art Garfunkel, if Art were black. That turned into us all calling Devon "Blackfunkel" all night. This is a great name for a young, black, funk drummer, and Devon said he thinks he'll keep it!
We packed up and drove home (which only took seven hours) to arrive in Indianapolis on race Sunday, at which point Bill Ritter made me drive him to his home.
In Speedway, Indiana, three blocks from the 500.
At 9:45am, on race Sunday.
Thanks, Bill!
Also, this was Devon's last gig with us. He has his own band, with other members of his family, which is gaining momentum. Best of luck to him in his new adventures as "Blackfunkel"!!!
