| The Drum Off
started out peacefully - 6 drummers, 2 sets of drums. Jeff:
"Odds are NOT in our favor." Sugarfoot's Molly Sayles and Blue
Street's Rick Canfield sat at the drums, Caravan of course. |
|
But then the other drummers standing there were feeling left out,
so they quickly ran through the rain and retrieved their snare drums, and
joined in, sitting on the floor. Caravan pandemonium. |
 |
|
Somebody decided to crown the littlest drummer, Danny Coots with a toilet seat.
That's when leader Jeff Barnhart began taking away all the snare
drums.
Through all this bedlam, Leary on guitar and Jurcak
on tuba carried on with Caravan. |
 |
 |
 |
But there must be something inherently primeval about
drums, they couldn't/wouldn't stop. Ted Desplantes & Paul Midiri
continued drumming on Molly's cymbals |
continued....
