I was looking at the topgear website and came across these posts on a Randy thread by someone with a username "Lution":

Feb. 27, 2011

I played in a couple of bands with Randy's son, Dana, in the early 90s. Dana plays the drums and is a monster player. Tremendous talent. I have also recently played in a couple of bands with Randy's other son, Eric. Eric is also a drummer and is quite talented himself. I have been fortunate enough to meet and talk with Randy on several occasions. He's always friendly and kind to me. Super cool guy and really cool family.

The drummer for my cover band (Bionic Freddy) is Randy's son, Eric. Eric and I have been good pals for a long time. I asked him a couple of weeks ago how his dad was doing. He said Randy has been taking it easy lately. No shows or tours at the moment.

I had read that one of Randy's sons played the drums in high school, but I didn't know they had actually been in active bands. Musical talent definitely runs in his family.

Here's a video of Bionic Freddy performing Funk 49 on 5/5/2012. I assume Eric Meisner is drumming but I don't know that for sure.

Yep, that's him. He has a photo on his FB page:

I've never heard Dana play but everyone who has says he's outstanding.

Thanks for posting this. It's all new to me. In the video I linked it was hard to see the drummer. I thought maybe he inherited his dad's penchant for staying out of the line of the camera!

I couldn't see him at all in the video. He sure sounded good though.

Both of Randy's son's play different instruments. His oldest son Dana actually sings, and has a similar voice to Randy. Music is in their blood for sure. :band:

Hi Night Mist,

I have heard Dana play drums, and he is very good, as is Eric.
Dana sat in with my band in Nebraska a couple times. Really nice guys too. Both of them.

Hi DJ,

Yes Dana does have a voice very similar to Randy's. I've heard a couple of recordings he's made in his home studio, and he DOES have a really good voice. His wife sings on some of the tracks and she's no slouch either !
