Percussion is the heart and soul of my musical interest.
Left to right:PeeGee Stader, Robin Toye and Me... THE LOPING CAMEL DRUMMERS Also, at the risk of sounding
like an overly-simplistic peon, I must admit I've always prefered music, no matter what style or genre,
that is fast, loud and raucous.
Ultimately, I gotta go with: ! ! ! P U N K - R O C K ! ! ! The Bee's Knees rock HARD!
