The day before my daughter Candis gave birth to my grandson Nathaniel, she presented me with a box set of CD’s. The collection was called “Nuggets II” (original artyfacts from the British empire and beyond.) and actually contained Who Dat? by my band The Jury. Candis claimed that my grandson was gonna be so proud when he discovered that his grandfather used to be a “Rock Star”. After arriving back in Florida I asked my 9 year old daughter Cami if she wanted to hear it and when she excitedly said yes I hit play. About halfway through the cut she tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if it was almost done. When I asked her why she wanted to know, she said … Because it’s not very good daddy!
