I had second thoughts about posting this beer-soaked track, which teeters precariously on the brink of bar band bedlam, but drummer Bill Wilson died last night, and when one of us dies, it redefines everything for those who are left behind. This recording has, to me, become as beautiful as burnished bronze -- a portrait of a time, and a place, and an aggregation that are no more. A moment frozen in amber. The drummer throws his sticks into the air, and there they remain suspended forever, never to return to their owner's hands...
