BTW: Nice drum site! Hi Mike,

Jeff was also fond of the cornet, now a mostly overlooked brass instrument.

It is sad that he was taken from us at such an early age. One thing I find interesting, however, it that so many accomplished rock musicians have roots based in Jazz. So many rock fans may not be into the genre, but guy like Neil Peart, and Carter Beauford are all jazz guys. Anyway, nice post, and keep up the great writing.

He was truly special. I saw him a long time ago (some time in the 90's, can't place the exact year) at a Canada Day show in Ottawa. Incredible. I finally had a chance to come and see your blog today. I was chatting with James (Men with Pens) tonight about a bunch of stuff, and had thought back to his post about Tom Cochrane's "Big League". There is a lot of music out there that speaks to me about life, and I'll likely write a post or three soon about some songs I like and how we can learn from them. I'll link back to the Tom Cochrane post, and I'll probably link to your page too. I remembered that you said you had twin boys, and that's kind of cool that one of them has the same name as me. :) Anyway - thanks for some great words. Brett Hi Kim,
