Hal Blaine, gone yesterday at 90. "Who was Hal Blaine?", you ask.
Watch this. A professional's pro, a musician's musician. The beat of our childhood.

Three departed souls appeared before St. Peter at the pearly gates.
St. Peter asked the first one, "What was your last job and annual salary?"
The first soul replied, "$200,000; I was a trial lawyer."
St. Peter asked the second one the same question. The soul answered, "$95,000; I was a realtor."
St. Peter then asked the third soul the same question. The answer was "$10,000."
Before he could go on, St. Peter immediately said "Cool! What instrument did you play?"

I knew who Hal Blaine was but was not actually quite aware of how prolific he had been. He played drums on 40 no1 singles and 150 top 10 singles. that's quite the career.
