[Harp-L] Re: Sam

[SONNYTONE@xxxxxxx]

Sorry to hear about Sam's health, I had lost touch. Probably the best gig  of 
my electric career was with Sam on Drums and my former guitar player Rocky  
Lawrence's band. Played at Johnny D's in Boston, he was just the consummate  
professional. We did Juke, and he played some different than  the record killer 
stuff on it and then asks Me, was that Ok?  I said, ah, yeah Sam, better than 
ok. He said whoever is leading  that song is running the show and everyone 
else follows them. He knew what  you were going to play before you did, a harp 
player dreams of a drummer like  that. Not to mention he talked and recanted for 
4 hours straight on the ride  home, what a life he experienced. One of the 
TRUE greats, and Hash you know what  I am talking about. How's that 60 Bassman 
doing, still cookin:) If I am  able and there is ever something someone wants 
to do for Sam just let me know, I  will be there. 
Just a follow up note on Feb 10th at Pete's Saloon, _www.petessaloon.com_ 
(http://www.petessaloon.com)   , I will be  there. A great player and teacher Mr. 
Plodnick will also be jamming early on so  should be a heck of a night. My 
surgery date is still Feb 27th unless something  changes. I am just biting the 
bullet for another 26 days.
