fur auld lang syne, a test run
happy 2026! this is a simplified combo of the albert ammons & dr john arrangements of this song, which as a child i only knew to have the lyrics "that's where the old folks play." continuing to build stamina in my ankles/shins & work on snare 1/8 hits. as i get stronger, will add more rhythms beyond my current 2-beat, shuffle, & semi-clave repertoire. the snare james gifted me belonged to the late great max bangwell (aka bob ebersole jr), & i adore its sound. whimsically, i hope it gives me some bangwell juju. forgive the clams!... swanee river one-man band

Max/Bob would be tickled by this! I know that snare sound well. How many times did Leatherwood call me to say Bob was in town and laid down drum tracks, which meant I had to get to Cleveland to lay down bass tracks! Thank you for keeping it alive!
This American Music scene is astoundingly small, I am reminded!
The world itself is small (my travels taught me that long ago). The music world is even smaller. One look at my contacts list is all the proof I need. LOL
