It's safe to say that our part of the state is no longer a well-kept secret.  Southwest Montana and particularly the Bozeman and Big Sky area has more or less become a playground for the elite.  With the area's pristine beauty and countless recreational opportunities, who's to blame them?  We have had our stories of Travis and Taylor honeymooning in Big Sky.  Heck, we've even heard stories of a Kardashian breakdown in our state.  The automotive kind, not the emotional kind.  Many celebrities live here.  It's not that big of a deal.
Bozeman is also home to the Gibson guitar factory, one that makes top-of-the-line acoustic guitars, so it's no surprise when a big-name musician comes rolling into town.  Many times, they will stop by Music Villa on Main Street, which has one of the most complete and comprehensive guitar showrooms in the world.  Famous musicians dropping by is not uncommon, but the guy who stopped by on Friday even has us here at a classic rock station in awe.
Yes, that's David Lee Roth and if I have to explain to you who he is, well, you probably wouldn't be on this web address.  David Lee Roth has been a fixture in my playlist since I was a young boy and not only his stuff quarterbacking the legendary Van Halen.  I still listen to his solo work.  Even "Sensible Shoes" when the mood strikes.

Who would have known Diamond Dave would be spotted buying a guitar?  I guess when you spend a career with some of the best guitar players in the business, your own aspirations get overlooked.  Especially if you're universally regarded as one of the greatest frontmen in rock history.  However, and I speak from experience, if you need a guitar, Paul Decker and Music Villa will take exceptionally good care of you.  You don't even need to be a member of Van Halen.

Welcome back to Big Sky Country, Dave!
