Gene Krupa, Ed Condon, Wild Bill Davison, Dick Wellstood, and Ken Davern....whatta sound. Wish I could have shared this with my Dad...he loved this sound.

1. Looking at the cover art.....

It captures the musical sound. Perfectly.

2. My Dad Loved Krupa

Had a big thing in common with Gene.
Both born in Chicago.
They were both groomed for the priesthood as young boys by their families.
They both abandoned that plan after the first year of seminary college.
My dad actually went to a seminary high school too. Gene just went of a Chicago public high school.
But, both were headed to priestville but both got off that train.

3. Know all about that. Gram prayed every night that God would choose / bless me with the Secret Sign and make me a Preist

Alas, 8 years of Jesuit education made me a committed agnostic. Oh well. I've spent a productive lifetime listening to the Gospel of Jerry Garcia and friends. Jesus would have been a Deadhead, I think.

4. On a separate note....

Gene Krupa influenced all of the drummers that I grew up listening to. Bonham, Kreutzman, Watts.

You really ought to hear the whole album. Krupa's last recording...pretty sure Eddie Condon and Wild Bill's last rodeo as well.
