See how this rock 'n' roll fantasy sounds: One day you're trying to get Home Depot shoppers to apply for in-store credit. The next you're rehearsing with Boston and getting ready for a national summer tour.

"I never could have dreamed this," says Tommy DeCarlo, 43, Boston's new Brad Delp-channeling frontman, who is taking leave from his credit manager job at a Charlotte Home Depot to sing with the band. "That first gig is going to be something."

I'd say this was a case of being in the right place at the right time.

You know I had to go hunting Wink

Interview with him on how this happened - - very cool !

And on a similar note - -

Journey found their new lead singer on YouTube - - the elusive "break" can come in many forms it seems - - right place / right time
This guy has a great voice with that elusive "something" that resonates with me - -
the thing that's missing for me with Elliot and Archeluta and others that my mind stops hearing after a short time.
