I met him last year - my uncle Joe passed away in 2020, he was a die hard DT fan, and Myung was his idol (along with Chris Squire). I brought his prized Ric 4003 to a DT meet and greet. Had it signed by the band. The man himself picked it up and spent around 30 seconds just ripping on it. He held it in his hands, and in his signature low voice, said "Woooow, I haven't held one of these in many years." Got to chat with him for a minute about Bongos and the Moog Taurus, before watching a killer DT set from the 3rd row. One of the best moments of my LIFE.
You guys are monster players for following along with Myung. I cannot compete!!!
