What's All This Then

Why should I care what this guy has to say?

The correct answer is that you shouldn’t. We’re all entitled to our opinions. Develop your own. I try to be sane and rational, but that may change with the level of caffeine intake. I’m just telling my stories in the hopes they may amuse and/or inform others. And... I Confess... I'm showing off my bitchen collection a bit.

RIP Series - Hal Blaine

Hal Blaine probably played on more #1 hits than anyone else.   He drummed for The Beach Boys, The Monkees, They Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel, The Mamas and The Papas, all those Phil Spector records, etc.   Often someone else got their picture on the album cover as the drummer. 

I picked up this record long ago  - before I knew who Hal Blaine was.

 Hal Blaine - Psychedelic Percussion (Dunhill 1967)


I was attracted by the cover, the title and the price (99 cents).   It's a pretty fun listen with only percussion instruments for the entire thing....



Incidentally, the photo on the back is not Hal.
