I was just thinking about Eddie as my grandson wa given a mini drumkit for Christmas. Very basic no skulls and things. One snare drum one cymbal. I wonder what Eddie would have thought,And for all you big band enthusiasts (and I know Eddie was one), here's this year's Christmas Concert by the Jazz at the Lincoln Centre Orchestra and featured vocalists. I hope you enjoy.

What a wonderful concert, thanks for sharing. As a big band enthusiast and ex-pro drummer and good friend of the legend Eddie, I'm sure he'll be listening and appreciate the talent of this concert.And for all you big band enthusiasts (and I know Eddie was one), here's this year's Christmas Concert by the Jazz at the Lincoln Centre Orchestra and featured vocalists.

He was 8 Maurice a few days ago. Acts about 3 often, his sister is 5 and acts about 27Hi Nico,
I'm sure Eddie would have smiled and wished him good luck. Well, your grandson's house will no longer be as peaceful as it was (maybe) and you'll have to see it he does take a real interest in music. But how old is he?

Whatsap is brilliant MauriceNot at all, Nico, I have 9 grandchildren myself, aged from three to 22, so little more than babies to university students in places as far apart as Bournemouth, Edinburgh, Antwerp, Leeds and Brussels. Those are their bases during term time, but over the Christmas the places have included the Pyrenees and Dundee!
I no longer buy presents for them, just give them (or the younger one's parents) money - far simpler for us living in Crete and just a matter of doing online bank credits. No wrapping involved, no unnecessary charges paid to postal authorities or courier companies! And I know it arrives!
I don't see a lot of them growing up since we have lived out here, but we hope to Skype with three of the younger ones this weekend. It costs nothing and they don't get a chance to make a mess!
