I grew up on the music of the mid to late 70’s. Particularly the great Rock bands that were destroying cities across the US of A. Kiss, Ted Nugent, Van Halen, Aerosmith and the mighty Cheap Trick.
These were the bands I was cutting my teeth too. These were the bands that as a mere child I would learn to drum to. My parent’s couch in our old home took a pounding until that fateful day when dad finally bought me my first drum-kit. By then, I could play any drum pattern by my heroes of the day – Peter Criss of Kiss and the enigmatic Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick. I could play any of their songs – and probably could to this day although I haven’t drummed professionally since 1990, hanging up the sticks for good to move onto greener pastures. But I digress, that is all another blog post for another day.
One slab of vinyl that the stylus of my stereo wore down (Oh God I feel so damn old!) completely was Cheap Trick’s ‘Dream Police’ album.
