thankyou

I'm making four of these for the bandmates for Christmas.

A good drummer is an amazing specimen of humanity.   Don't know how they do it.  I remember a thread in praise of drummers, saying that because of the complexity of a drum kit, they are usually the first to set up and sound check.  OTOH, the author had little patience for vocalists, who only had a microphone to set up, but seem to always be the last one ready, even though somebody else had already put the PA together.

Wish I had known about the area when I lived there in the summer of '69.  I remember someone telling me that there was an area in the city where there were many music stores, but I never made it to the spot.  I do think it was close to Pigalle, one of the streets named in the article.  As it was, I was offered to play some buskers' guitars on the quais by the river.  Salad days, good times.
