So You Want to be in a Band Part 21

The last entry we were still trying out drummers.

To come into a band that has been playing together for a year + and play with some drive --but not too loud, and follow the breaks that we haven't told you about, is got to be a little rough.
That was the situation that Jerry Endres was thrust into. He pulled it off. The first time through a phrase the rest of the band played the breaks like we always had --Jerry only had to hear it once and the next time around he nailed it. It didn't matter whether it was the drum breaks in "Knock on Wood" or "Sweet Home Chicago", he was able to drive it or make it swing. The band breathes a collective sigh of relief.

Hey the man already owns a Cowboy Hat---Ready to play those Patsy Cline Gigs
