After 4 decades of silence on the subject, the following revelation was entered in the Quest Book, in response to a guest's comment:

Quest Book Entry by Ken Cutler:

"Hey Shufflemonster, you are a killer drummer."

Quest Book Response by Shufflemonster:

"Thanks for the "Killer Drummer"compliment, which coincidentally, is all the more significant to moi because of my adolescent idolatry of 50's Rocker, Jerry Lee Lewis, whose nickname, as we all know is "The Killer"!!! Who knows, perhaps the six fun years I spent as the Virginia Representative of the International Jerry Lee Lewis Fan Club may have been my original inspiration for becoming a drummer, and subsequently influenced my approach and style of playing drums.....the "joie de vie" of Jerry Lee! .....may have ultimately resulted in a "Killer Drummer." Ken, you made my day!"

The significance of this quest book exchange is the fact that it occurred just 5 days prior to the public pronouncement in the Washington Post of Resolution 285 (see Congressional Record here).

Coincidence? Synchronicity? Spiritual Connection?

You decide! It is now part of the unfolding GrooveQuest saga. A reading of this highly significant and groovalistic resolution will become a ritualistic part of GrooveQuest gigs in 2004.
