answer ro the question. I first started drumming 1964. I was at a polio party as I have had polio and at very young age, and there was a group on (wish I knew their name) anyway a friend came up and said he was getting up to sing with the band, I said yeah OK, if you get up i will play drums,i was joking. we got called up and he chickened out I didn't and got behind the drums for the first time in my life. The band asked me what did i want to play so i just whats next on your list. So we did Barret Strongs "Money" and at the end they said that was pretty good how long have i been playing, My answer how long did the song last that was my first time.
i went home and asked my parents for a set of drums, and they said no I wouldn't be able to play them with my disability they wouldn't believe i had played the drums that night. how i ended up with the drums is another story...
no I never played Hamburg with kingsize Taylor, he asked me to get a passport to go and play there but we had an argument and that put paid to that
