Drums usually seem to tune themselves.

When I was younger, I used to drive up to a bunch of turkeys, roll down the window and say something. They'd all gobble back at once.

I'm not in it for my health. I'm a musician and I wanna live the way I do.

A friend of mine took me to Memphis advised me that I should get in the musicians' union. He gave me a set of drums and said, Stay on the job, son.

With horns and a full rhythm section, the drums always looked like the best seat in the house.

Most of our stuff was trial and error. You live with a tape recorder, you turn it on, you play the song and you listen to it.

The Jungle Bush Beaters didn't last too long as a group, but we had a pretty good time while we did.
