Forgive me for sharing a personal drummer story here guys.

Re: Drummers in general . . . Like most kid guitar players (that was a long time ago) I very foolishly did not give drummers the props they deserved.

This revelation came to the forefront one night when a replacement drummer, his name is Don France, sat in for our regular guy who was ill. Well while playing my solo on an upbeat jazz arrangement of Blue Skies he leans over to me and says, "gimme the bridge man". At first I thought he was kidding but I did anyway, then stood there with my mouth wide open while changing my opinion of the musical abilities of all drummers forever!

That was 40 years or so ago and since then every time I hear Blue Skies, I also hear every "distinct note" Don played on his drums that night.

Amazing thousands of gigs over the years that these days seem to all run together and in my mind this one and that display of musicianship, still rings true as clear as a bell.

Later,
