Saw Buddy Rich in '79. He apologized straight off for planning a short set. He had just had triple by pass surgery a few days before. He opened his shirt to show us the sternal stitches. Then he basically did a ripping 45 minute solo with the band trying to get a few chords in here and there. Amazing drummer. Growing up in the '60s I played this record my folks had a thousand times. The Drum Battle between Krupa and Buddy Rich.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
