Why the F%&^ is Keith Moon great?

Good to hear from you Andy!
I haven't been to Hawaii since 1976..we rented a Rolls Royce in Honolulu from Budget Car Rental and had a blast down there!
Here's an uptempo version of my theme song 'Late Rent' full on Purdie Shuffle here, enjoy!:

Who said a non discipline musician isn't good for the group should listen to you when you play. You feel your music and listen to your band members quite well to keep it together at times when needed to. I heard your Eviction tapes and watched your videos...what can I say...awesome.

Love,
Katie*
