The photos of Tito Alberti are very nostalgic. I agree with you about Ringo Star but the one we must feel sorry for is Pete Best, the drummer that Ringo replaced in August 1962. Pete Best was popular with fans and the line-up change was not universally we...

. . . about thirty years ago, Abel. Nils' drummer that night was Johnny Bee (Badanjek), but when the band re-emerged for the encore, Ringo was sitting in. I was maybe ten yards away. Funny thing is, I remember Ringo vividly, but can't quite recall what so...

Hello dear Elliot! Thank you so much for your comments.

Guess you have said it all. And I’m very happy to read your statement as a long time big fan of The Beatles I am since I was 14/15 years old when I listened them for first time. Have a nice week ahead my friend! Best cordial regards. Abel
I'll chime in regarding Bassist

I like Victor Wooten mostly known for his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Although that is now a small fraction of his body of work. His mentors include Jaco Pastorious, Stanley Clarke, and Marcus Miller to name a few. Usually found playing a Fod...

Yes she IS the wrecking crew

And the Rhythm section period. She played for everyone. " Most Heard but least known" And now for real story.. A guitar player for 5 years, then one day the guitarist didn't show up...so she grabs a bass. Carol Kaye
Thanks for the Masters class on Carol, Kev . . .

For drummers, I'd have to mention Jeff Porcaro of Toto, Ginger Baker of Cream, Jason Bonham of Led Zep, Stewart Copeland of The Police and Mike Bordin of Faith No More. But my real love is the bass guitar, and I there are too many great players I idolize ...

That's my bass teacher, Bruno Tauzin. I can only dream of playing like him, he's technically amazing.
