Taken yesterday at Stanfest after we performed together in the very first ever "drum workshop" at Stanfest.

 

We played to a full house...there were no empty seats and standing room only.

 

Rod is the drummer with the english band “The Strawbs” who had a huge #1 hit in the 70's with a tune called "I'm Part Of The Union". Prior to that he was a founder member of the Jeff Beck Group which included Rod Stewart (v) Ronnie Wood ( Stones) (bg) and Rod on drums. He also played for legendary English band “Juicy Lucy”. After that, he joined  “Stealers Wheel” with Jerry Rafferty and played on the hit single "Stuck In The Middle With You". Then when the Wheelers broke up he got the call to join “The Strawbs” with whom he has been with ever since. Rod is a clinician and a session musician who has played for the cream of England’s finest musicians and singers,  it was an honor and a pleasure to perform with him. We had a ball. Steve Wilton joined us on stage for the jam finale...we got an incredible reception from he crowd...signed autographs...and had fun...that's what it all about. I hope I get invited back to Stanfest.
