Here is my Dad in 1934:
First of all: Your dad looks cool as all!!!
Secondly: You were in a band called the Zeppelins in 1966? What did you do when Led Zep came around? You couldn't exactly go around with that name still, or could you?
Yeah, we were The Zeppelins from about 1964 to 1968. Yes when Led Zeppelin came out our band name became worthless..........

Is the snare on the ground the one you are restoring?
Jim, I love that old pic of your dad. Did he live in Arizona in his heyday? Do you still play with trad grip?
Oldest picture I have, it's from the very early 80's... a Tama Imperialstar with double bass drums, my first "expensive" kit, I think I was 22 or 23 years old.

Holy crap. I just noticed that I STILL use tape to repair broken sticks.
