Re: [Harp-L] Will Scarlet



I know Sammy Piazza!  He played in Sonoma County where I went to
college.  I once asked him how to play blues drums.  He said, "It's
not rock and roll, no fills!"  Great player, nice guy.

The original trio of Kaukonen, Casady and Scarlet is still intact, but the sound's the thing that's changed - in contrast to their first album, this is full-on electric Hot Tuna! Sammy Piazza, arguably the most tasteful drummer to play with the group, was now a full-time member. However, this show took place prior to the addition of Papa John Creach on violin, and therefore provides a fascinating - and extremely rare - glimpse of the band in the midst of a definitive transition."
