I was listening to them all afternoon yesterday. They are monster talents, all of them. Steve Stills, to me, is one of the most underrated guitarists in the business. The man -smokes- on acoustic and electric guitar. Never gets any props for it.

Example: (Virtuoso guitar performance ahead.)

Again... CRANK the volume!

You've done it again, John! You've reminded me of how lucky I was to grow up in the day when musicians could actually play and sing! You're right about Steve Stills. He could play with the best of them! Write too! Mr. Crosby and Mr. Nash wern't too shabby either. Did you know that Steve Stills once auditioned for a part in "The Monkees"? Supposedly he was turned down because of bad teeth and a receding hairline. His buddy, Peter Tork got the role. Legend has it that Charles Manson also auditioned. What have the kids got nowadays? Justin Bieber?

Just a drummer who loves all things about vintage drums! Nothing more, nothing less.

John most excellent

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

People are so carried away by the powerful mix of those three voices that sometimes the music being played behind it gets a little lost. Southern Cross is a powerful piece of music. For drummers, it's a 'drummers tune' - one you can really enjoy playing. A lot of their stuff is like that. Once you start to take it apart, you realize how strong each of the components is.

Impressive. But then, they're gifted pro's.
