June 2: A Celebration of Charlie Watts

Charlie Watts, for those of you who perhaps aren't music geeks, is the drummer for The Rolling Stones. Today is his 73rd birthday!

Charlie is by far the least flamboyant of the Stones. He is a reluctant rocker. He prefers jazz to rock. He's been married for nearly 50 years. He battled throat cancer and survived. He's not your typical rock and roll star.

He's also a drumming legend. Meat and potatoes for drummers. A true rock god.

Once upon a time, I dated a drummer. I shared this story with him before a gig. I think it suits Charlie also. 

there came a moment in the middle of the song when he suddenly felt every heartbeat in the room & after that he never forgot he was part of something much bigger - Brian Andreas
