It's Only Rock n' Roll

This is my anthem.

As a drummer, I love the idiosyncratic rhythm laid down by Charlie Watts. And, I love the guitar interplay here, once again, from Mick Taylor and Keith Richards. Yes, this is before Ron Wood became the guy everyone thinks of as the Stones second guitarist. Back then, I knew Ron Wood as the guy who used to play with Rod Stewart.

  1. Taylor's guitar work is amazing...

    I miss them, saw them last time in '02, missed them in '05 Miami and Rio '06 where I even had the plane ticket to go for a free concert in Copacabana, but I got sick here and had a personal problem...

    Still kicking myself...

  2. I thought of Ron Wood as Jeff Beck's bassist.

    Beck's current choice is a lot better looking.

  3. Carlos,
    It seems to me the interplay of Mick Taylor and Keith Richards is the defining sound of the Rolling Stones.

  4. Michael,
    Indeed!

    Her body was made to fit the bass guitar, and her fingers were made to touch it's strings, and her hands were made to caress it's long, uh, neck.

  5. Just in case anyone drops by and doesn't know who Michael and I are referring to. Here she is, the great Tal Wilkenfeld:
