Re: drummers who "replace" Keith.

[Henry Gambill <hgambill@pepperdine.edu>]

Mark: I forgot about ole Carl.  Definitly.  His sense of invention and pure
power have reminded me of Moon, too.  I respect Zac Starkey based on his guest
solo spot on Roger's "Under a Raging Moon" cut, but I heard Zac turn in a 
fairly lackluster performance on a live version of "You Better You Bet" by
Roger on the Tonight Show last year (No one seems to be able to play THAT
one like Kenney Jones did, either...)  Maybe I'm revealing a "purist" heart
here that I, a bit too defensively, try to insist that I don't have...
Thanks, Henry
