Join Derek Zinger and David Basse as they pay tribute to one of the most recorded drummers of all time: Earl Palmer. Twice elected Treasurer of local 41, the New Orleans drummer became one of the most beloved musicians in Hollywood. This episode is packed with music, all of it driven by Palmer’s drums. Though eclectic and cross-genre, the songs we’ve chosen tell the story of the man who drove the music from 1949 into the 21st Century. We also touch on Little Richard, whose death coincided with a very uncertain time in history. Two diverse themes collide in real time, and another kind of time is kept with Earl’s steady-rockin’ snare drum.
