[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH</i> <br /><br />Mitch; <br />I may be mistaken but did you do a drum solo in the Civic Opera House in Chicago about 1964 or so as part of a drum & bugle corps standstill exhibition sponsored by "Drum Corps World" magazine? Sig Sakowicz was the M.C. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Now there's a topic that was brought up at rehearsal just last week and I hadn't given it much though for 35 years. <br /> <br />No, It wasn't me, but it was a guy with the exact same name. I never heard of the fellow until, when I was at the American Academy of Art, we formed a small garage rock band. <br />I didn't have a drum kit at the time so I had to rent one. Just south of Adams Street on Wabash, was a small music store on the fifth floor of a narrow old building. After class we walked over to the store to rent the drums. The proprieter asked my name and I told him, "Mitch Markovitz." He yelled back, "No it's not!" We looked at each other wondering why this guy had a problem with my name. I took out my driver's license and showed him. The proprieter hit himself with the palm of his hand, on his forehead. He then picked up the latest issue of some drum magazine, turned a few pages and there he was,"World famous drummer, Mitch Markovitz," in a great marching pose with his field drum. We look nothing like each other. <br /> <br />Mitch
