Can't wait!
Tomorrow (Sun), I am going to be calling the daughter of Jimmy Vincent (longtime drummer for Louis Prima, with Sam Butera and the Witnesses) and she is having her dad stay with her for three weeks and she invited me to go down to San Diego to meet him but alas, can't afford to fly out there right now
but...the next best thing, she invited me to call her next weekend (if I want to talk for awhile with him) and talk to Jimmy himself!!!..I am sooo excited!..He's an absolute legend and is considered the best drummer alive! Can't wait to hear stories about his days with Louis Prima!...Jimmy is eighty years old now and started to work with Louis when he was sixteen years old http://www.jimmyvincent.com/ Keith
