Cool School

♪♫☮ Gary Driscoll, Mickey Lee Soule, Ronnie James Dio, and Doug Thaler ☮♪♫ This is my homage to all of the above, amazing people. It is literally magic.

If you were part of "Cool School," it means that you were part of an inner circle of friends, with the members of, "The Elves or Elf." Gary Driscoll, Mickey Lee Soule, Ronnie James Dio, and Doug Thaler, were and are, "The Coolest, of All Cool Guys!" Alumni include, David Salce, Willie Fyffe, Colin Hart, Joe Whiting, Lou Kaplan, and Victoria Calandra. This is in no way disrespect to David Rock Fein
