I play the drums in a band called OKAY – Synopsis
Always hated liner notes – always hated any kinda writing about rock’n’roll – I mean, why don’t ya just shut up & listen to the music? – but here I am now, trying to catch in words what I think & feel about my good friend Clap & about these fine & dandy tales he’s spun – tales of life on & off the road with a band called okay – a band in which I am lead singer – & in which Clap is drummer – not the world’s greatest, technically, even he’d admit to that – but solid & deep & swingin’ & truthful – & I suppose that’s what I want to say this here book is – truth-full – if I’d written it, it would be all about high times & honeys – & Clap has gotten down that wild stuff – but he’s also told the cold truth about the things you lose along the way – & I think he’s done it just about as well as it coulda been done – & believe me, I should know: I wasn’t there for most of it.
Stay cool,
