Sammy Hagar's evil twin !! In 73 I saw Ronnie playing for the Edgar Winter group. Was blown away by Ronnie's playing and antics in his white jump suit. A year later saw Montrose warming up for Humble Pie. Montrose tore the place up, Denny kicked a hole in his bass drum, the roadies hauled Humble Pie's bass drum out for him, threw a towel over the "Humble Pie" logo and they kept going. They blew the roof off that auditorium that night. Ronnie is unforgettable.

Ronnie had a great memory for his fans. I met him at a show in Sacramento where he opened for Trower on. the Speed of Sound tour. When a mutual friend introduced us, the first thing he did was HAND ME HIS GUITAR! Neck like a baseball bat. He just knew I played. I thanked him for all the great music, and told him I loved his tone. He offered to sell me the rig when the tour was over. I took him up on that, and used it for years. Every time I saw him after that, it was first name basis. He made you feel important enough to remember. I loved him for that as much as for his incredible chops and tasty phrasing!
