A jazz drummer of 40+ years and collector/historian. I have Spinal Muscle Atrophy & have been in a wheelchair since 1981. I started the first website dedicated to Gene Krupa in 1997, which now has a Facebook group: America’s Ace Drummer Man: Gene Krupa. I also moderate two Buddy Rich groups on Facebook: Buddy’s Lounge & Buddy’s Place. In addition, I have a long-running website dedicated to the Stanley Kubrick film “The Shining.” This channel is primarily centered around jazz & big band with an emphasis on drummers, but also includes a mix of my other musical loves: bachelor pad, exotica, and easy listening/mood music of the 1950s-70s, as well as a smattering of instrumental surf rock and vintage Christmas music. I also love listening to & collecting airchecks from the classic years of AM radio.
