I was 15 years old when I got my first introduction to Bobby. 1969. I went to see Blind Faith at The Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara, Ca. Little did I know I was going to hear and see the Best Band in the world. It didn’t seem like very much time had passed and I was searching through the bins at a local record store and what do I see, Delaney and Bonnie and Friends Live. Raced home, put it on, and immediately was back to the best show I’ve ever experienced. The B3 is my favorite instrument, and you and Lee Michaels are my favorite players. Listening to your podcasts is like talking to an old friend. Thanks, to you and Coco! I carry the memories to this day.

Jim gordon was the best drummer on the planet, just very ill. No one could ever take away what he had done. As musicians, if you're a very good one, you make way for everyone on stage. The Dominos were perfect in that way. No one stood above the other. That's what made them such a great band. CoCo

Love you two so much! Every offering a gem.! And for free, no less! Re: Jim Gordon’s drumming - Jim held his left hand stick in standard grip; NOT match grip. A lot a drummers, anxious to jump on the R’n”R band wagon, didn’t take the time to learn the rudiments. Hence we have a bandstand full of bashers in the ranks. Some of them are good…but still…A real drummer knows that left hand in grip puts the ROLL into Rock And Roll! Take a view at a Buddy Rich drum solo and see the difference at it's best. Jim was schooled in the basics, which are SO important for ANY musician. As a guitar player, I say, learn the chords and the neck before you start to wail. BTW: Bobby has THE best shirts and any musician will tell you that a great shirt is key to the highway! xox!

I’m such of fan of this series. Right now I’m in the middle of reading the Elton John biography which come out in 2019 (excellent book) and I read this passage last night. Elton talks about touring as a support act after Tumbleweed Connection came out in spite of their great reception in LA. The thought was to get in front of as many people as you could. Elton talks about opening for DD. Each night, we’d go onstage with the intention of stealing the show. We’d go down great, and come off thinking we’d blown the headliners offstage, and every night, the headliners would come out and play better than us. People talk about Derek And The Dominos being a real disaster area, strung out on heroin and booze, but you would never have known that if you’d seen them live that autumn. They were phenomenal. From the side of the stage, I took mental notes about their performance. Eric Clapton was the star, but it was their keyboard player, Bobby Whitlock, that I watched like a hawk. He was from Memphis, learned his craft hanging around Stax Studios and played with that soulful, Deep Southern gospel feel. How about that!! Pretty cool!

Hi Michael, I thought the same thing. When Jim came back to L.A. I had opportunity to get to know him and I watched him in the studio quite a bit. My father, Bassist Joe Osborn and Jim became friends and I went with my dad to many sessions with Jim at the drums. I was a drum student and was already aware of Jim's work in England. Jim was really good about me asking questions about his setup, tuning etc, he didn't mind going into great detail in response to me. I have never met Eric, but I can tell you that Jim was around 6'3" or more and in good shape. He would come to Dad's for a Sunday poolside bbq from time to time, he'd play my drums and talk shop...and I have been to his house several times. I myself never heard him so much as raise his voice to anyone. Schizophrenia is a terrible thing and had everything to do with the sad end of an amazing musician and friend.
