1993.02.12 Chas Smith (Madness)

I met Chas on february 11th when i was in the American Hotel with Joe Satriani. Chas was in the lobby as well and we just met and when i asked him where he was from and why he was in Holland he said: "Oh just recoRding some work in Hilversum". Of course i asked him who he was recording with and he casually said "Madness"....

The next day i went back to the hotel, as we agreed upon, and he signed two Madness albums for me.
