Hello Billy. How have you been other than busy my friend? I'm sorry I didn't get to come up to Blues Alley to see you last year, I got caught up busy an' all. I'm just gettin' back online and just wanna say thank you for all you've done contributing to music, and it has helped me tremendously. What's funny is, I'm playin' left and right-handed now, cause' for years I've always played right-handed, although I'm originally a lefty. A million thank you's for inspiring me to grasp that natural concept. You, Simon Phillips, and Lenny White have been a great blessing. Send a line when you can. One Love.
Yes, Billy !!!
I never forget what you say. Your words are very important for me to be a good drummer.
Thanks you for your great advice always Billy !!!
Hi Billy !!!
Long time no talk !!! My life is getting crazy man !!!
Oh, I forgot to tell you, I went to open jam at a club and I saw many drummers were technical and good but when one older Brothers came up and sat in, non of matters front of him. He had great great cymbal sound and swinging and driving strongly ......
I was soooo surprised at him and watching him right next of him whole time.
His name was Rashied Ali. I learned a very important thing what is real jazz sound from him the night.
I can't believe that he is gone ........
cool BC i have all your stuff..from funky side of things, i like the solo frankenstein goes to the disco,,, magic lp is good..i stole all those licks.. sorry
If that is the way you feel then work on the aspect of translating what you hear from the contributions of the other players in the band to reflect your interpretation and contribution through the drums. "Listen", "Absorb" and "Contribute". B
