A Memorial to our friends we lost in 2017
Halim El-Dabh
He was the composer of the “Symphony of 1000 drums” which we played sometime in August, 2008 (See HERE) . Halim was a professor of music at Kent State and an early inventor of electronic forms of music known as Musique concrète.
Bob Harper
Bob showed up at one of my drum circles in suburban Chicago and became a regular (I’m assuming it was because he lived close to the circle). A drummer for most of his life, he was one of the members of a Chicago band called The Shadows of Knight, a band well known after recording the Van Morison cover GLORIA.
You will be missed.
