Browsing the interwebs I came across an article yesterday mentioning Brian McConnell appearing at some Citadel Country Spirit USA music festival. It mentions that he was allegedly David Lee Roth's personal assist for over a decade...

So I checked out this guy's personal web site and found this in his "About" section claiming he moved to LA in 96, wrote some music and...:

McConnell spent most of a decade as personal executive assistant to Van Halen front man David Lee Roth. "Dave led by example and taught me all about the 'dos and dont's of rock n roll... but mostly the don'ts!" laughs McConnell. Brian played an instrumental role in the reunion of Van Halen in 2007, and after touring the world with his childhood heroes, he decided to take some time off get back to writing and recording his own songs.

Not a single photo of him and Dave in his gallery... I wonder what "instrumental" role he played in the 2007 VH reunion..?
