David Canada commented on John Petters's video 'That's A Plenty'

Hi, John, I always enjoy your videos. Wish I could remember the first time I heard this song...I think I must have heard it on a Jackie Gleason show or some variety show. I also have it in my head that I may have heard Red Nichols do it...anyway....

David Canada replied to John Petters's discussion 'Krupa Fest in BG Centenary Show on The BBC'

Hi John, Thanks a lot for posting the BBC program on BG. I really enjoyed it. A couple of the recordings were new to me: the Red Norvo piece, and the live recordings of "Let's Dance" and "Hunkadola". Wonderful music! A reminder of what great play...

David Canada replied to BERNIE PRITCHARD's discussion 'Best Audio Quality Recordings?'

Hi, Bernie, I, too, found the Columbia/Legacy version of the 38 concert to be a vast improvement over previous editions. When I heard it, my reaction was the same as yours...Krupa's drums and the rest of the orchestra seemed to come alive. I list...

Bruce, Hope you're right about MD possibly doing something more for Louie in the future. You are certainly right about the stuff they have done for him in the past...in fact, that's a part of why I was so disappointed at the way they handled his ...

Thanks for the kind words. He really is something, I don't think I've ever stumped him with any vintage drum questions I've had and in addition really is a great teacher. It also really convenient to have the services of such a pro so close to me, everything he has done for me, flawless.

Those drums shows are a rip snorting good time , I've got photos that I have posted on another forum but put a link to an album in my profile here. Hope you can make it sometime. I live about a block from the show itself so you can bank on me being there as well.
