Clyde Stubblefield RIP

It would not have taken but a few minutes to start another thread if the main purpose was to show respect.

onhwy61,

Point taken. (Exactly). And that discussion is better addressed in another thread.

Would you want others to point out their interpretations of your drumming style at your funeral?

My initial post, was to me, a recognition of an artist that deserved recognition. (which I perceived would not have been given here).

A further discussion of others' thoughts on how his style should be remembered is best done on a separate discussion.

Why I'm even having to explain this point is disturbing.

I'm sorry you don't get it. I'm now sorry I even tried.

Peace.. Mr. Stubblefield..............

Thanks frogman.

With respect, it shouldn't be so much because of my wishes, it is out of respect for the artist.

His drumming style, or any disagreements as it relates to how one perceives it, is better served and would be enlightening in a separate thread.

Happy listening

frogman,

I realized this and had trouble writing my last post for this very reason.

Now that all is good.. hopefully all of his great work will be immortalized in a thread that will exemplify the artist that he was!

Thank you for your post!

I originally started this thread because I noticed that 3 days after his death, NO ONE had recognized it.

I do appreciate all of the meaningful posts but to start grappling over his drumming style on this thread, seems to diminish the thought behind the post.

Maybe another post to describe his influence on music?....

"The influence Clyde Stubblefield had on music and the art of drumming"

Just my opinion.

Happy listening.
