Hi Guys,

I'm not going to take sides in the Bing v Nat *hanbags at dawn* dispute, but suffice it to say that Jake Hanna said that Bing had the best time of anyone he had ever worked with, bar none. That's high praise from anyone, but from a drummer with Jake's ability, experience, taste, swing and musicality, not to mention penchant for devastating put-downs, it's as big a compliment as can be imagined.

Cheers,
