Keith Richards likes to sleep and answer letters from fans.

January 31, 2010 by evpcd

I recently bought this written letter from Keith Richards to a fan. I still find it amazing back in the day these guys actually DID answer fan mail regardless of how brief the note was and how busy they were. What was a real treat was to see the original letter from the fan that came with the signed Keith note. Goes to show you the passion the fans had at the time, what they were interested in knowing about […]

I’m a drummer. What could be better than hanging with Max Weinberg?

January 22, 2010 by evpcd

A quick story about a hack drummer’s dream. Hanging out at the Zildjian cymbal booth at the NAMM show in Anaheim last week. NAMM is the premier music industry show. Covering 800,000 square feet in 4 days was not easy. I tried, but found I was most comfortable just hanging out with some of the best drummers in the world at the Zildjian booth. Here left to right…. John DeChristopher, Vice President, Artist Relations & Event Marketing Worldwide at Zildjian, […]

My Courts and Hackett Skull Ring.

January 2, 2010 by evpcd

After posting on my blog the story behind Keith Richards’ infamous skull ring, I was buried in emails and questions, regarding the post. Seems there was a fair amount of interest in Keith’s ring, who made it and just general discussion about who in fact makes the “coolest skull rings in the world.” Posted in October of 2009, it has since been viewed 800 times and has the most comments of all my postings. I decided to treat myself to […]
