I have always been drawn to rhythm as a listener. Beatles/Stones/Cream to Fusion and then a prolonged love of Steely Dan, Sprinsgteen and The Police. About 10 years ago, my consulting career led to a fabulous weekly Blues jam at Black Eyed Sally’s in Hartford Connecticut. I finally had the opportunity to move from the audience to the stage. I learned on the job, playing with some fabulous musicians. I discovered the blues and how to deliver what my fellow musicians wanted; not a lot of flash, just a drummer with solid time willing to stay firmly in the pocket.
Thanks to Fox Valley Jammers for providing the opportunity for myself and my fellow Drifters to meet and now follow our passion to make music.
