When David's band "Small Planet"had opened up for Chick Corea & Return to Forever in 1974 he had chance to sit down with "Lenny White" on the kit several times & study that style with such an innovator in the jazz/fusion world.

I think Mitch Mitchell is the great drummer of sixties and the greatest innovator. Mitch Mitchell introduzed the jazz on Rock. My god, Keith Moon is so overrated... Greetings, Sturty! Congratulations for your excellent work. Mitch Mitchell would be proud.

Your the only one who does Mitch Justice.I wish more kids knew just How great he was.I Love Bonzo,and i could name a dozen other rock drummers.But Mitch was just so incredible.You capture the feel of his accents.And to me,that is what made his drumming magic.Not just another drummer trying to play every fill in the book.But he always seemed to have the right feel at the right time.I am so thankful for these post.You really are amazing.I would Love to see and hear you do some stuff from ElecticLadyland.Like House Burning Down,and Gypsy Eyes.I know your probably so busy.But if ya ever get a chance it would be awesome.Best to you and yours.Maxwell
