![]() ![]() I wish I could remember where I read that Billy only had one drum on this whole record, either a snare or a tom, but I can't remember. Those high-end squeals just rip my eardrums to shreds! I know for a lot of people, that's part of the charm of this record (and, FWIW, it works for me on "Omega!"). Make no mistake: I love this album but moreso for the rhythm section than for Jackie. Having said that, this album's taken forever for it to grow on me. One of my all-time favorites.Ī-frickin'-men, brothers! And especially when he's playing with Jackie!!! In fact, I will buy a recording based solely on the fact that Billy's the drummer. When I see a recording with Billy in the drum chair, I always have a good feeling about the music, even before I hear it. I'm never heard Higgins play with anything other than taste and finesse, and yes, an intense, swinging drive. ![]() Well, ok, but I'm an UNabashed lover of Higgins from those years. If ya gotta start out the thread on such a nasty note maybe a PM fired off to that Amazonian cycle pygmy from Finland is in order. So a few come in all revved up about this album, and frankly I'm waiting to get some good tips from the boys here (that real Organissimo trad like Sangrey and Late trading courses over Miles at the Nickel and such), and now the man in the mitten bids adieu? How sweet it must have been to get a good old chip-board cut under the nail whilst slicing open the shrink off stuff we drool upon generations later. Now I can use chopsticks like a surgeon but that's as far as it goes for me and the mini bats so I'll take a flyer on the bashin' thing. Yeah I can see the Kat's point to some wee degree on the 'Gigilo' esp but biggrin.gif Higgins deserves a bit of respect and has much around here. ![]() I'm just waiting for my Dad to yell out the window at us to stop yappin' and play ball! Awww man, I just started this thing a tad bit too early and look at it already - "A Fine Organissimo Tradition". ![]()
