I asked Glen Matlock if I could have my picture taken with himself and Jim during the interval at Huddersfield - he went to get Jim and we quickly took one picture (see left!). I also had a couple of CDs signed by Jim. He was very busy, so I didn't really get a chance to talk to him much, but he was more than happy to sign stuff and have his picture taken. It was great to be able to get so close.
I like Jim's drumming style, which is quite unique. He's just captivating to watch... My fascination with the Stray Cats started beginning of the 80s when they were really big in Germany - at one point the Stray Cat Strut Video was being played all the time on German MTV... Seeing Jim with DMW has brought it all back to life again for me... Anke
