Such coincidence. On Saturday evening, I was working on a playlist, and a picture of Derek & The Dominoes came up on Spotify, I pointed out Clapton and Allman, but when my wife asked about the curly-haired guy, I said, "Jim Gordon, but you don't want to know about him because it's too sad of a story. "
And now here we are, three days later, with the story.
You and I seem often to be traveling the same algorithm! And it's true...this is a heavy one. But man, this guy's contributions. Of course, Hal Blaine did it all without killing anybody, so...
Hal Blaine is the epitome of a professional musician. He would come in, do something inventive, it would truly add exactly what the song needed, and it would stick with people. As a drummer, I’m always blown away by Blaine’s ability to do this. The lack of that kind of pizazz in music today is so glaring. We need more guys like Blaine.
Straightforward and right to the point. The read did not disappoint.
Thank you, Ryon!! Much appreciated.
Wow! Really interesting! I never knew the Rita Coolidge connection.
Dan--Indeed. If there was justice in the world, her name would be on the copyright.
