Geez, it’s been only one day, and I have to recommend this video about Jim Gordon in place of the one above. Please do yourself a HUGE favour and watch it, it is truly incredible. It is an interview with Joel Selvin, longtime music writer for The San Francisco Chronicle, and author of several books. including an upcoming one on Gordon, due out next year.

In this one hour seven minute interview (you can skip past the opening bs), you will learn about not just one of the greatest drummers of all time (Derek & The Dominos’ organist/songwriter/singer Bobby Whitlock considers him THE greatest), but about the inside story on the L.A. music scene in the 1960’s, including in the studio details you’ve never heard before (Gordon became a full-time professional studio musician at the age of 17!).

The list of songs he was the drummer on is absolutely staggering, and you will hear about them---and much more---in this video. I became aware of Jim Gordon upon hearing Dave Mason’s "Only You Know And I know", which contains one of the best drum parts I’ve ever heard. But believe me, this video is NOT just for drummers!

Here’s a great little video that posted today, in which Kenny Vaughan speaks to Otis Gibbs about Levon Helm. Kenny is the guitarist in my current favorite band---The Fabulous Superlatives, Marty Stuart's band, and Levon was of course the drummer/singer in my all-time favorite band, The Band.
