 Happy 72nd Birthday to Stewart Copeleand! Here he is with a drawing I did of him with his band after The Police, Animal Logic. The whole band was kind enough to sign the art for me. I actually talked with Sting this morning. #Stewartcopeland #Thepolice #Animallogic #Birthday

So long Neil! The King of Drum & Rolls!

Hal Blaine with his Jan and Dean Drum heads

On the Run - Jan & Dean - Unaired Pilot - 1966

Hal Blaine plays "Clobber" in this funny pilot written by Ruth Brooks Flippen (One of my favorite television writers) and Hal liked it when I called him "Clobber"! Jan played a big role in assembling what became known as the Wrecking Crew and Hal was one of his favs! Elizabeth Montgomery makes a Samantha Cameo in here, because her Husband Produced it.  Ruth wrote the Christmas episodes for That Girl and The Mary Tyler Moore shows among other things.
