Last Saturday, my friend Jeff “Stretch” Riedle<\/strong> returned to the stage to finish an incomplete show that occurred three months earlier when he experienced a cardiac arrest, and his life could have easily ended that night.<\/p>\n

Luckily, his death was not meant to happen. With the heroic efforts of a dear friend Wendy Lang<\/strong>, who was able to perform CPR, an efficient ER team and some excellent heart surgeons, Jeff survived.<\/p>\n

On February 17, 2018, Stretch and his New Shockwaves<\/strong> returned to the stage at the East Cliff Brewery, Santa Cruz, California to finish that incomplete show.<\/p>\n

The first song of that show was “Red Triangle,” and I’ve got some video of that particular performance I’d like to share with all of you.<\/p>\n
