OMIGOD! Do you know who drummed on this?

[AndyR]

A little beasite that the older ones among us either loved or hated in 1978 or so (I loved it - I've been trying recently to get a woman I know to cover it with me for a laugh, she's not buying, though):

I've just found out who's drumming because I wanted to get Mr Friedman's first two albums - the CD arrived today, and I was just browsing the credits for the second album... Had to do some searching, but yes, it's the same guy.

I was dumbfounded - didn't know this at all. He plays all the drums and percussion on Well Well Said the Rocking Chair

[blasphemy]I actually prefer his work on this album than in the band he's famous for[/blasphemy]  :o :lol:

So, do you know who it is?

Answers on a postcard to "Auntie Sharon" :lol:

[Philly Q]

I haven't a clue about the drummer, but I remember the record very well - it's from that period when I listened to Radio 1 all the time, so I probably heard it four times a day.  I don't know if I actually like it or not, but it's burned into my brain..... and I know all the words!  :lol:

[Philly Q]

Oh god, now I'm thinking about "Never Let Her Slip Away" by Andrew Gold and "The Pina Colada Song" by Rupert Holmes....

[AndyR]

You didn't notice the "Auntie Sharon" in my post then?

You didn't notice the "Auntie Sharon" in my post then?

Actually, I did - and it gave me a thought, so now I've found the answer.  I wouldn't have known otherwise!  :lol:

But is it definitely the same person?  I guess the timing makes sense, and I can imagine him wanting a change from his "day job".  I know he released a solo album, which I've never heard but I believe the style was very different from his band's music.

Bob Holness?

[FELINEGUITARS]

was it Princess Margaret (bless 'er soul)?
I heard the Queen had to keep her session work quiet for reasons of state security.

[AndyR]

:lol:

I reckon Frank knows...

Yep, Philly, I found "worked with Dean Friedman" on a "CV" of his - now unless that's someone has compiled it and jumped to the wrong conclusion, I reckon it is the same chap that Sharon seems to love so much.

[HTH AMPS]

I never knew she was a drummer...

[HTH AMPS]

is it Michael Douglass?

[AndyR]

:lol:

I nearly went "It's ----" a few posts back...

Now, I'm going to leave it for a while, the fun will end when I do.

This album was a firm favourite of my ex wife-it was around the time when we first met that it came out and it was one that she liked a lot. I wasn't so keen though I think he is ( was) a great song writer. I remember that it had Tony Levin on bass ( me being a bass player and all at the time). I think I might know the answer to this though I am not entirely sure that my memory is that good.

[FELINEGUITARS]

It'll probably turn out to be some seminal heavy metal drummer with a bit of a jazz background
someone you'd expect to be drumming for Ozzy Osbourne  rather than an artist like Dean Friedman
