I then met him again two months later in Boulder at a radio conference and sat next to him. He was asking me about the greatest rock records of all time, and I told him about PET SOUNDS, QUADROPHENIA, NICO & THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, etc… all of which he wrote down into his little pocket notebook!

The other thing I remember was how inventive he was about marketing and self promotion. He told me that he would go into Dave Matthews Message Boards and Chat Rooms, and say “I just saw this new guy named John Mayer who is really great and reminds me about Dave’s playing and style… check him out!”

All and all.. I was impressed!!! Very nice, open and soft spoken. But I could see how (his openess) could get him in trouble!!
