January 25, 2015 by evpcd

John DeChristopher. Recognizing one of the “good” ones.

January 8, 2015 by evpcd

John DeChristopher is one of the good guys. We’ve known each other for several years now. These concert used sticks were a gift from John and Jeff Chonis, Ringo’s drum tech since 1989. They were used at a Boston show John attended. Here he is with “the man.” We met when John was head of Artist Relations at Zildjian and I was the Creative Director on the Zildjian account when the company I’m now at was working as their advertising […]

Ringo Starr…finally in the RNR Hall of Fame. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

December 25, 2014 by evpcd

By Andy Greene | December 16, 2014 Ringo Starr first learned he was receiving the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Award for Musical Excellence when Paul McCartney called him up about two weeks ago. “He said, ‘Would you accept the award?’” Starr says. “I said, ‘Sure, man.’ He said he’d been talking to Dave Grohl and other people and they were stunned that I wasn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he needed something to do that night and […]

Collecting Ringo. Yes, Ringo.

July 27, 2014 by evpcd

Maybe it’s because I’m a drummer. And drummers like drummers. If you are a collector or lover of rock n’ roll memorabilia of any kind, you have to appreciate what The Beatles have to offer. Suffice to say you could live a long, healthy, and expensive lifestyle and still not have it all. Perhaps the most merchandised band in the history of music, I decided to focus my attention on collecting one Beatle, my favorite Beatle, Ringo. While it may […]
