don't forget about Larry Londin
Randy,
Tell me about Larry. [img]eek.gif[/img]
You know, another one of the
great tragedies was the loss
of the incredible Roberto
Petaccia. This guy was going
to set the world on fire.

What can I not say about Larrie? Awesome drummer, underated by most because he was a nashville studio musician, but played on rock stuff too. Played on Steve Perrys first solo cd, also on Journeys Raised On Radio cd. Many country discs from Vince Gill to Reba.
His big record was playing with Adrian Belew on the Twang Bar King disc..........larrie also did that tour with Adrian and smoked. There is a video (VERY hard to find) that Larrie did as a sudo drum intruction video. His son Sean was suposed to have rereleased it but as of today it still has not reseen the light of day.
I knew about his background. He's
been a monster for so many years.
Thanks, for the catch-up.
What happened to him? Is he gone?
He had that market cornered for so
long. I can't imagine that he's gone.

Sadly he died a short time after Jeff did. Was doing a drum clinic and fell backward off the drum throne. I think it was said to be have ben heart related.
That's just awful. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
He was an institution. RIP, Larry. [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img]
