It worked, and he recalled, “I saw a little reaction, and that was the beginning.” Waters admitted that he made the first move and that he threw Chavis a compliment, which was, “Did someone ever tell you that you have beautiful cheekbones?” She was driving the car that was taking me,” the bassist said. 
“I actually met her at one of my concerts a couple of years ago.
