Not gonna lie - I always used to dig the Latino drumming scene; Sheila E got me interested as a teenager, along with Gloria Estefan's Cuban albums, and Santana's rock take on it. Took me forever to figure out Sheila E's drumming lineage. Great stuff there, too. SUCH amazing talent.
I also remember John Lennon being asked by a reporter if he thought Ringo Starr was the greatest drummer in the world. Without missing a beat, he responded: "He's not even the best drummer in the Beatles." I know he was making a joke, but I thought that was unkind. Ringo really was a great drummer.
Fun overview. Thanks! Just so you know, when my daughter was about 3 or 4, she expressed interest in the piano. I purposely set out to find her a sweet, kind, female teacher (her first being a grad student studying to be a school counselor and later a mom), who would let her play whatever she wanted -- Christmas songs, show tunes, TV themes, Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody!), country songs, everything and anything -- and no recitals. As a young adult, she continues to love and play the piano, and I have had other moms asked me how I accomplished this!
Love this stuff, Larry

Yeap, stupid of Lennon.

“Train a child up in the way they should go” means training them in line with their inner wiring”
