Listening to this guy,I learned to play my Bass Drum on the off beat . 1 AND 2 AND 3 AND..
What a revelation it was when I was 15!
I was coming off of playing straight 4 Rolling Stone covers and this self-confessed garage drummer blew me away with his boom ta pa ta boom ta pa ta .
Decades later, having traversed many other musical horizons, and maturing to other tastes, I decided to youtube the man, and I found this live version of ' flight of the phoenix/ footstompin music'.
The only thing that seems to have faded is the color of the footage.
The music remains as vibrant as it was.. something about rock n roll never dies, I guess..
