His technical mastery and dynamic drumming style have left an indelible impact on progressive rock.
I have always been a fan of the drums. I had a snare drum as a kid and one of my friends from Milton High School, Tommy Mulkey, was an incredible drummer. As a child, one of my favorite Christmas songs was “The Little Drummer Boy”. I thought I would list some of my all-time favorite drummers for my blog.
I had thought that the T-Bones were an instrumental group
My friend Donnie gave me a T-Bones album for my 2022 birthday, “Everyone’s Gone To The Moon (And Other Trips)” on Liberty Records. I went home and played the record and noticed that they had a singer on all but “Paint It Black”, an excellent instrumental cover of one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs, on side one. Side two is all instrumentals, so I decided to research the group.

When I was young before I had cassettes, the only good way of making a playlist of songs was to stack 45s on the turntable. I would arrange for them to play my favorite songs in my favorite order. These posts are about records I had in my stacks.
