[Dixielandjazz] Drummers

[Bill Gunter]

Hi all,

To those who think drums are less important to a band than, say, any of the 
front line instruments or the bass may I issue this challenge:

Go get the CD of the sound track from the movie musical of **Chicago**. 
Listen to the entire thing and then come back and tell me that drums are not 
as important as the bass (or any other instrument you care to name)!

Those of you who already know better than to make such a senseless claim are 
off the hook. You don't need the challenge. But go get the CD anyway!

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "Ratamaque! Flam! Paradiddle!" Gunter

ps - recently saw two different and funny bumper stickers:

"Carpe Diem! Or not"

"I be a PhD. Ebonically speaking."
