Hal Blaine


I expected bdp24 to be the first to note the passing of a great drummer and musician, Hal Blaine.  Truly sad.

That whole crew was monumental, both as seasoned players and as the real force behind a lot of popular music from the era. Sorry to hear this. 
RIP Hal. Hal lived a long and fruitful life and brought musical joy to many. Over 35,000 tracks with him on the skins.
he was one of the greats and not very recognized for his contribution except for the those in the know.
The Wrecking Crew--The Inside Story of Rock and Roll's Best Kept Secret

Great read and Hal Blaine is prominently featured. Indeed, he appears to be the leader of the Crew. This book gave me even greater appreciation for Hal and the entire crew including Glen Campbell, Larry Knechtel, Tommy Tedesco and Carol Kaye. Tommy's son is making a movie about the Crew. RIP Hal.
