Don Williams' soothing baritone takes me back a long way. It is the music of my childhood. My Grandfather was a Jazz drummer very much in the Gene Krupa mode. So heavily influenced by Gene Krupa, my Grandfather never added a high hat to his drum kit even after Krupa did. So there was always a stereo at my Grandparents house and a nice collection of records. The Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, and Don Williams who my Grandmother loved. There also was Rock records there that my Grandparents listened to as well. I have memories of sitting on my Grandfather's lap while he taught me how to hold drumsticks. I was learning drums while in elementary school. My Grandparents met at a USO Club. My Grandfather was in the US Navy and regularly sat in with the bands at the USO Clubs whenever he could. My Grandmother said "He was a little drunk and kept looking for his weekend pass under my skirt." I know...I have mixed feelings about that quote of ecstatic laughter and the "Oh my God Grandma I don't need to hear that!" feeling as well...Enjoy the show
