Friend of Burleigh!
I have to let Burleigh know about your thread here! I have a, well, 'Indi-release' that I recorded back in 1994, and Burleigh Drummond played drums on it: I was THRILLED to work with the man ('Whatta Guy!'), enjoyed his candor, and 'Spinal Tap' jokes about 'AMBROSIA': 'AMBROSIA', One of the great 'undiscovered' PROG wonders.
The one bit of advise 'B' had for me, was, "Beware of your hit. You'll play it forever, and if it is less than your best material, you will have to live with it".
Good advise!
I'll never forget the night I went to see "Ambrosia" play at the Ventura Theatre. I was all set, had backstage & all the bells & whistles, & it seems that David is allergic to walnuts: he ate a cookie in the 'green-room, that had WALNUTS in it! David 'P' went to the ER, the show was cancelled, & the rest is MISERY! LOL! Such is life! Anyway, I'll be sure to tell the 'Drummerund' of the band about your thread!
Take Care, Earl Grey.
