By 'eck!, there's a lot of "Pauls" around here!
Anyroadup, Paul (S), I DIDN'T say "Vulcans are more important than Drums (capital "D", you'll notice)" and I'm sorry if you misconstrued my earlier remarks.
However, XM655 at Wellesbourne Mountford, is only able to "strut her stuff" once each YEAR (boring things like finance, 'elf 'n safety, etc etc) whereas I'm privilaged to bash my Drum Kit at least once each WEEK (twice this week, as we have a "proper" gig on Friday night!), so needs must, I'm afraid.
I DO realise that this forum is peopled by an increasing number of "That Sound anoraks" (mainly, I note, Guitarists
- not necessarily Paul S - for whom I hold great regard) who seem to concern themselves with little other than " Backing tracks, Zooms, Quadraverbs etc etc".
I, however, have a rich and fulfilling life which includes many and varied diversions - including, of course, a love of the music of The Shadows, and some small abilty thumping the tubs. Regettably, however, these two activities form only a minor part of the whole.
Paul Marshall is a fine Drummer
who travels many miles to provide a Drum Kit at most North Notts meetings, and is kind enough to let all and sundry "have a go" behind his very nice Kit. I am privileged from time-to-time to step-in when Paul (M) is unavailable, and will be happy to continue to do-so when required.
I send my very best regards to all at North Notts, and trust that everyone will have an excellent afternoon supported by one of the best teams in Shadowmusicland.
Regards
Paul
