Yeah, man, of course the pun is intended!
Here is a vid of the Ventures, with Mel Taylor, my hero, and Max Weinberg—who eventually became the drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E. Street Band, and studio band leader for Conan O'Brien—also on drums.
Weinberg is good, obviously, but side by side like this, you can see the "in-a-class-by-himself-ness" of Taylor and his effortless grace.
I'll give Weinberg this, though, he's definitely prettier.

It's an awesome video, isn't it! If you look around YouTube, they also did the Hawaii 5-0 theme with Max.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't 'eventually become' Springsteen's drummer, though - he's been doing that since 1974! :)
