what's the racket?
SHAKE THE MOUNTAINS!
Unfortunately Jon Lord has to be in Montreux on the 15 July and has had to cancel his appearance in Kitzbühel. His place on the final show will be taken by the Powerful Pair, Chris Farlowe and Albie Donnelly. Guaranteed to shake the mountains. This Boogie Festival was capped last year by Eric Burdon with Christoph and Pete. This year promises to be even more dynamic.
YA GOTTA TRY
Pete has been working on further movie screenplay ideas and one of them is a story involving the Drum Legends, Herman Rarebell and Pete.
It is, of course, a comedy with our two heroes playing characters much like themselves. A pair of drumming nuts who were once members of highly successful rock bands. The story begins with them both taking jobs wherever they can get them in some most unlikely playing situations.
One of rock’s biggest bands loses its drummer in a bizarre onstage accident. Herman and Pete go for the job and surprisingly both get it. So they are back in the big time but all is not what it seems with this mega-band, its evil manager and its ego maniac singer, Banana.
As with all movie projects the story and later the screenplay may be great, but it’s a long road to find the producers, the money and the distribution.
But, in the words of the song, „Ya Gotta Try.“
THE PY SIGNATUR SNARE
The PY Signature Snare drum is now down to last few in selected stores. It is not likely that more will be built. This is destined to be a rare collectable in the future. But more important, it’s a terrific instrument.
Pete is happy to show the specific advantages of this drum over others if you approach him at gigs.
