Who likes signing drummers. One of my heroes on letterman last night.
"Somebody call the cops!"

Thank gopod for all the private time i've had with him. Life-long consistancy rules.

Re: For Sven (none / 1)

Thank you, kind sir.

To keep yourself young, work with younger people. Even the soprano sax player ;-)

Bet you didn't notice daughter Amy on mandolin and back-up vocals. She sang lead after his throat cancer surgery when he could barely talk (although the after show stories were endless.)

Re: For Sven (none / 1)

I did not, and BTW I don't expect any support from my daughter when I make my comeback...

Re: For Sven (none / 0)

Re: For Sven (none / 1)

Ofcourse, my dyslexia meant singing drummers.

Re: For Sven (4.00 / 2)

Of course - but you'll notice that the drummer isn't that fluent in English either. We wrote the lyrics out for him phonetically - which he then promptly forgot, but came out with such wonderful phrases as 'Got to be a scoogie in the neighbourhood'

The name of the band 'Hurriganes' has a 'g', because, in the immortal words of the late bassist, it was more 'texas'.

Re: For Sven (none / 0)

Channeling my time as "scroogie in the neighborhood" no doubt.
