I shared this video a few years back, but it’s so inspiring I had to share it again.  Many drummers may stop watching after 5 seconds of Mr. Powell talking about the New Orleans Fall Parade Season. Or, maybe they’ll fast forward to when he starts playing, only to turn it off because he’s not playing the fancy licks that keep the attention of many drummers, especially young drummers, today. 

Instead, he’s playing with a certain amount of heart and soul that transcends chops or flashy licks. This is a beautiful display of what it means to be a “musical” drummer.  He’s humming the tune, driving that Second Line feel, connecting with ensemble figures, mixing up accents and rhythms without it being a detriment to the groove. It literally does not get any better than this. Thank you, Preservation Hall for helping to educate the world on New Orleans culture and music.

You know when it’s a supportive wife attending a Rush concert!😂 Despite some people’s lack of enthusiasm, Rush delivered at the highest level. The setlist was 🔥 and • A N i K A ~ N i L L E S •, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson (Official) were pure magic. Thank you Rush for making dreams come true.

You can’t say NO to the Oriole Bird when he asks to sit in on your drums! Just when you think you’ve seen it all at your gigs.🤣

It’s pretty cool when music you made 30 years ago is capturing the attention of people today. We released this album before the Internet had taken over. Somebody posted this five years ago and for some reason, it has attracted about 20,000 views in the past two weeks with lots of nice comments. Of course, there are the people commenting about the name of the band, which at that time had not become so cringe worthy. It was inspired by the character, Juan Epstein from the show, Welcome Back Kotter. Jeffrey Epstein was yet to commit all of his horrifying atrocities.

Anyway, we were just kids making music that we believed in and having a great time in the process. Thanks to people like, Jimi Davies and the people at Fowl Records, who also believed in what we were doing, we got some pretty cool opportunities to play with some of the best bands in the area. Stuff that kids dream about and I am forever grateful for the experience. It left a lasting impression on me because it gave me hope and confidence that I could make a living at this beautiful art form we call music.

Abigail and Brian gave everything to this club and all the fans who were lucky enough to witness shows here over the past 20+ years. They are going to get the proper sendoff with 3 nights of incredible music hosted by my good friend, Cris Jacobs. There will be lots of special guests who have all been a part of the extended 8X10 family. Maybe I’ll see you there?
