    Greatest and most accomplished drummer to have ever walked the face of this Earth bar none. I could literally listen to Hal Blaine speak for days on end and never get tired of hearing these stories. Everybody has to have a favorite Hal Blaine fill. Two of my lesser known favorites are Hal's fantastic drum intros on "Love Is Surrender" by the Carpenters and "Mary Mary" by the Monkees.

    After listening to Hal talk about women who can't deal with a musician husband - I'm a musician, and I think that the best way to do it is to marry another musician who completely understands how a musician feels about their music and their connection to their instrument!
    Just a quick note: my best friend growing up who lived right next door to me in New Orleans was Hal's cousin, and he'd come visit from time to time, so I met him several times when I was a kid; he even took us backstage at a John Denver concert when he was touring with him. A really sweet and kind man.

Same way nip refers to Japanese, hence “Nippon”, no big deal with any of that. Aretha Franklin referred to Skydog as that “white boy” and it wasn’t meant to degrade him, it’s obvious that she mostly performed with other blacks and would make it more understanding if she said that white boy rather than trying to remember his name. People are accustomed to doing whatever is easier. No harm done, unless you’re Monday morning quarterbacking everything that’s been said and done ever.

    Hal says the musicians were all like a family. I'd be disappointed if they didn't see themselves that way. The hits of the early '60's to early '70's have a thread of continuity that comes from the fact it's often the same small group of players mixing together on different artist' songs. No matter the name on the record, you're not surprised that a bit of the same feel comes through from time to time. How could you be disappointed by something so satisfying?
    In a way, all of us who grew up in the '60's and listened to the radio are part of a big loose family too. We all associate those songs and those sounds with our hopes and dreams. Those songs took us to exotic places in our imagination, yet at the same time we really knew we were just a bunch of dorky kids in the neighborhood. But the neighborhood had a bit of sparkle because we were plugged into pop culture through those hits.

      I grew up in the 90s, but this was all I listened to. I had developed a secret little-kid conspiracy theory that the songs I loved were all played by the same group of people... I figured out Hal's "fingerprint" on songs long before I knew who he was... When I finally learned a few years ago that The Wrecking Crew was an actual thing, it was like I had blown the lid of the Rosenbergs or something... I was born in the 80s, but raised in the 50s/60s....

    BRAVO! I'm happy to see a much longer section of the interview. I would often talk with Hal after he did an interview and he would say, "Man, my voice is leaving me now." I'd say, "Hal, I believe that, you have an endless amount of great, and very interesting stories. You should sip warm tea with honey like Frank used to do during shows." What I like best about his interviews ... is that Hal never paid any attention to a camera being on him, he's talking to Joe the same way he'd be talking to me, or to his neighbor, or anyone, he was always relaxed and just himself no matter what.

    Years ago when I was a kid I saw Hal play live when my parents took me to the Grande ol' Opry. It may not have been Hal. It could have been another drummer who looked like Hal Blaine and was referred to as "Hal" between sets by the other musicians, but I think it was him. Drums in country music might not seem like a big deal, but I thought at the time that they really brought a sizzle to the music.

      That's most of the popular music today. It will (and should) be forgotten within two years or less.

    "Everything I Need" by the Wilsons . I listened to two versions on RUclips. I needed to hear what Hal was talking about. I had never heard either version before now. There is a "demo" version by RUclipsr Dr. Strange. There is also I guess, the commercially released version on another RUclips. The released or regular version was too much on the elevator side for me; it seemed to target the easy listening stations back in the day. Too much OVER processed background voices! The "demo" version had more resonance to me. It had a catchy guitar and piano riff that stood out to me that I guess was "cleaned up" or much diluted in the regular version for more "mature audiences." Listen to how sweet the ending fade is on the demo vs. the released version. Ugh, it's not even close! I must admit the drums on the demo may have a slight extra kick into it for my ears, but it was a demo. Let me point out I know I nothing of music theory and don't play an instrument, but I love my own ears. Brian (or somebody) apparently had the Carpenters in mind more than the Wilsons I think. I totally agree with Hal.

Face it most singers or singing groups had their musical chops in order. Recording time was valuable. They had to bring in the best to do the work. Their were a few groups who had it together musically that could actually play their instruments well. Joe thanks for helping us to get to know them better.

    Man, where do you even start. Being able to sit in on a conversation with a Master like Hal Blaine is just such a gift. I just completely stopped what I was doing and went down the rabbit hole with him. HIs comment about Johnny Rivers - "Where does this Dago kid..." just classic and obviously from another time and place. And what the heck was the "device" he was talking about in "Poor Side of Town," that made that kind of "electric sound..?" I wanna' know! Then the very poignant finish of a man looking back across the years and taking every one of us with him. Thanks again, Joe!

      The "device" he is talking about is the drummer hitting an open hi-hat cymbal and immediately closing it, making a kind of "sa-wish" sound, very common in drum playing today. If you want to hear it clearly, listen to the drum intro to Donovan's "Mellow Yellow."

    Personally, from 1945-1995 was the greatest era of American music. I started on trumpet in 1968 but when I heard 'It don't Come Easy' from Ringo via Harrison I started guitar. That 50 year period has so much influence over so many musicians young and old.. No vocoders, raw power trios, recordings from miles and miles of tape. I live near the Greensboro Coliseum and I could bum a ride and then bum enough change to see 3 top tier groups for 5 or 6 bucks. ....... ....thanks Joe for being a part of keeping our memories alive with these interviews. Besides, a guitar is a much better chick magnet than a trumpet.......lol. 😎 God bless you Joe,big time, for what you're doing to keep us pickers interested. Pick on!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    If anybody had the lowdown on what it was like and what was happening in probably the most productive era of modern, lasting music this is the man. And he hasn't a bad word to say about anyone. A friend of mine has been a drummer in L A for years and he was in a band that did an end of tour party for McCartney and has a picture with him. He also has a picture of him and Hal not too much before he passed and he treasures that one more. Enjoy all your vids. Don't know why it took me so long, just subbed. Thanks, Joe.

    Seems almost like reporting from the eye of the storm -- the appearance of calm, inundation with celebrity, hit after pulsing hit, surfing one cresting wave of fame after another -- clearly a man of great charisma & musical talent.
    It seems plausible Master Blaine was oblivious to the storm he was at the heart of -- best back down to earth accounting I know of is David McGowan's "Weird Scenes".

    Geez what a fantastic interview. Hal could probably write 10 volumes and still not run out of spellbinding stories. I was happy to hear him mention Mickey Jones at around 33:00, who's had an incredible career in his own right, including the historic 1966 tour with Dylan and the Band. I always thought Jones, along with Howie Wyeth was one of Dylan's best suited drummers of all time.

    Fantastic interview! It's almost impossible to imagine what everyday life was like back in the prime of Hal's career. Here you have Los Angeles, whatever the population was back then, perhaps 5-6 million...and there are like 3 drummers. So they're literally one in a million. You call them up and they're at your studio, ready to play in 10-15 minutes.. more normally, of course, on a reasonably scheduled date & time. Showing up are the usual gang of suspects, plus or minus a member here or there...quick rehearsal, done in 1-2-3 takes. Two weeks later the tune is on the radio. And in those 2 weeks, every one of those players had played on at least a dozen, if not 20 radio or TV-grade sessions just like the one you ran.
