"when you mention the Glen Garry thing, are speaking of the actual film date?"

Yes, Randy ... apologies for the confusion. Either way, a nice behind-the-scenes story about the scoring sessions: Larry Bunker told me that Jeff insisted that Larry play the jazzy/brushes cues, which was a real tribute to Larry .. and was so typical of Jeff's incredible humility.

I was brought in for 1 day to play the end title "Blue Skies" track with Al Jarreau (some of which [the rhythm track] was used in the film as well); I'm often "brought in" as the jazz ringer for 1 or 2 cues on a movie, "often," as in I get as many or more calls for that kind of work versus playing drums for an entire film score. Kind of like a jazz stunt man, I guess. Hooray for Hollywood.

Cheers,

Peter

P.S. awaiting a call today, actually, to possibly be a drumming-body-double for a well-known sports figure/anchor, for some promo spot on TV ...!

Blue Skies is amazingly fast.............I love that movie and it was only a few years ago that i was able to find the actual soundtrack which has been long out of print.
Thanks for sharing the info and good luck on being a 'stunt' double. [img]wink.gif[/img]

[S.P]

I just thought i'd mention here, That on an issue of a spanish drumming magazine (todo percusion) everything percussion, peter was featured on the cover during his tour with Diana Krall (i know that was a long time ago, but my grandad buys them in spain every month and everytime my mum/dad go to spain they bring them back for me, so i get several issues at a time)

Anyways, Peter mentioned HOD too, describing ('scuse me translating) HOD as a place of gathering for cool drummers to talk about a wide range of different, interesting topics!

Haha it's amazing how small the world is! Thanks for thinking about us Pete!
