Kim, you are absolutely right. At the past NAMM in Nashville Bernard was doing demos with Slingerland right next to the Oberheim booth (both out companies are part of Gibson). He got into some pretty hot jams with our demo guy, who used the Echoplex to create loops and then solo over them. Bernard also played an Oberheim gig with Patrick Moraz at the Gibson Cafe', and they just blew the roof off. He is a great drummer! -----Original Message----- From: Kim Flint [mailto:kflint@annihilist.com] Sent: Thursday, August 27, 1998 1:49 PM To: dcattane@gibson.com; pmurphy@gibson.com Subject: Re: Bernard Purdie.....

It wow, you reminds me of several times working at namm/frankfurt music tradeshows, when I had the enormous pleasure to be in the same booth where Bernard Purdie was doing demos all day, trading off with Gregg Bissonette. God, it was such a pleasure to listen to them! The two of them just exuded joy and enthusiasm while they played, even on the fifth day of hell at frankfurt. And Bernard is just a jaw-droppingly awesome drummer. On top of that, he was just so nice a guy, it was something. you're right, he deserves much more credit. He's done much more than the funky drummer though, he's one of the top session players in the world......I think he even has sample CD's available of his playing. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
