Hello Tony I have also been a drummer for around 35 years (where have the years gone to?) I agree with you - there is only one Buddy Rich. I knew Buddy well and like you and most of us, we were in awe of his playing. Having said this, Buddy wouldn...

Hi Bruce Good to hear from you. I don't remember seeing this clip on the Swing, Swing, Swing DVD - I must look at it again. Anyhow, as you say Gene was sure having a good time. In this day and age when everyone uses their mobile phones or mini cam...

Good to hear from you too. Annie is quite well, although she is scheduled for "minor" surgery next month.
Before then we are considering a couple of weeks or so somewhere up north where it is warmer. We are finding it hard to cope with the cold weather in our old age.

Let us hope that we can keep our Forum going, there is so much that we can discuss other than GK and Mr Rich.

I am still re reading your compilations, there is always something new that I find in them. (note my entry in Research).

Love to Katya

Kindest regards
