Happy Birthday Brian

I believe Brian Bennett is 78 years young today?!

That's 78 revolutions, to use a term mostly associated with records. Not sure if he ever recorded any 78s - but he must be a record-breaker in terms of career longevity.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!

I think Warren was the 'little' b. Brian is the BIG B ;)

Back in the early 60's when I was in the RCAF in Ottawa, Canada, I was playing drums. My main influence was Brian Bennett.
Didn't know much about him back then other than what I heard him do on record and "Summer Holiday".
So much energy and such great timing.

How is his health at 78?
