In light of yet another discussion built around the merits of Mr. Denis Wilson and other musicians of his era, I believe that the time is now opportune for me to release an interview which I was fortunate to acquire years ago from a friend who will remain anonymous. The interview was held in the offices of Playboy in Chicago in March of 1965. The interviewer was Mr. Shel Silverstein, writer, musician and cartoonist from Playboy Magazine. The interviewees were Mr. Denis Wilson and Mr. Gene Krupa. The subject matter was the impact of the music of the so -called "British Invasion Bands". Unfortunately, the interview was never printed. During that same month, 3,500 brave Americans were sent to Vietnam. That is the story that took precedent of course.
If there is enough interest out there, I will release snippets of the interview in the interest of music and drumming in particular.
Let me know. I'll wait to see if enough interest is generated before I take any further steps.Thanks.
Brian
