RIP Charlie Watts

[bricky]

You read Keiths book to.

Sympathy for the Drummer is also worth reading

Just watched a drumming doco on Netflix called 'Count me in'

Charlie gets a mention or 2 in that.

I saw the Stones at the Palais in 1966 and again at Kooyong in 1973.  The Palais wasn’t a great venue but I was rapt with their performance at the time.  The Kooyong concert took it to an entirely new level.

I always thought that Charlie was the coolest member of the Stones and a drummer with a unique style.  I think he put that down to being self-taught.

RIP

I think he started off as a jazz drummer DJC, before moving across to R&B. That would have had an impact on the way he played.

I stood next to Charlie in a pub in Soho called the Dog and Duck in the early 80's when his big band were playing at Ronnie Scott;s just down the road, I had the temerity to say to him '' how are you Charlie'' he looked at me and his eyes said it all, I don't know what he was on but he was off his trolley, he had a lot of money in his wallet too let me tell you.

And a stinkin' hot day [member=324]DJC[/member] ... ridiculous

Hot enough for a very attractive young lass who was dancing near the stage to divest herself of her navy t-shirt.  The security guards moved in and Mick stopped the show; "What's going on here, a bit of aggro?  Oh, it's only a young girl, leave her alone!"  The security guards retreated
