Speaking of Steve Gadd, I was just listening to him with Eric Gale, Richard Tee and Tony Levin, the “backup band” for Paul Simon’s “One Trick Pony”. Such an amazing unit, and Paul Simon was still writing incredible tunes then. Massively under appreciated album, in my opinion.
Great musicians who should have been famous except....
I'm throwing this out there as an example. My 16 yr old aspiring drummer son asked me if I had anything in the vinyl collection tonight... apparently the U Tube video tutorials finally got boring. He is really good and practices non stop but it was refreshing when he asked about ideas for sound. In a moment of 30 years past clarity I put on the B side of Van Halen 1984… Is Alex Van Halen the most under rated rock drummer of all time? And is there a better lead in to ANY rock vinyl side than that???
