A 2008 summer performance of the Chris Millington Big Band at Butchart Gardens, Victoria. Featuring a drum solo by the extraordinary Lou Williamson, who lost his battle to cancer on Oct 30, 2009. He will be greatly missed, especially by the many musicians who were honoured to share the stage with him.
@PTME2009 Thank you very much - glad you like it! The transition was produced by Chris Millington and he wrote the arrangement of Big Noise. It's currently not for sale though :(

Lou was a mentor for me when I first got to the RCA Band in '81 and then became my good friend and roommate on our many band trips all over the world... His wife Maggie was a darling and I also agree that he was filled with that "Je ne sais quoi" that made Lou the drummer and percussionnist that he was... A great musician that willed be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure and oportunity or either playing music with him or knowing him.... Love going to his house along with Bill Gobby Luv u

Never heard of Mr Williamson before today, much to my chagrin. He was obviously extremely talented, and fun loving with a joy for music. I hope that many drummers got to learn from him in his life.
To heck with Resting In Peace! I hope he is wowing them all with his music, making as much noise as he can wherever he is.
