After being released for the 3rd time from State Prison in Dec. "07, Vincent ran into one of his ol' partners 'n crime. There on a park bench they spent weeee hours drinking wine and talking 'bout the good ol' haze. In the process of lighting up a crumpled cigarette butt, a spark from the match had caught wind and attached itself to Vincent's friends' clothing where it started to spread. Quickly, and without hesitation, Vincent patted the flames out, and in the process he noticed that the patting was in some sort of rhythmic pattern. It was a defining moment. Vincent heard a voice from within say; "Learn to play the drummmms." Vincent told his friend what the voice had said, and then commented very sadly; "...but I don't have a drum set to play on. " The friend quickly replied, and Vincent never forgot this; "Pull a Robin Hood." "I know exactly what that means." Vincent said, so off he went to steal his first drum set from a local music store. But before he went he shook his friend's hand and thanked him. He said; "Thank you Father John, and God bless." Three months later Vincent joined Big Stack Daddy. Vince Close |
