[bit.listserv.allmusic] Dregs & Ju-Ju

HALLRL@MOREKYPR.BITNET (02/07/90)

The first band that Steve Morse was in was called The Dixie Dregs and then
later shortened to The Dregs, really a great band, if you can find there first
couple of albums on Capricorn Records you might wanna pick them up.

King Sunny Ade!!!  All right!  That guy is great, I've heard of a style of
called 'High Life', is that the same as Ju-Ju jb?  Ladysmith Black Mambasa
(spelling?) is a great group too.  Ay talking drum, have you ever played one?
They're a little hard to get use to but a lot of fun!

I've been playing drums as a hobby since the age of 14, which is about 13 years
for me, not much better than when I started, maybe a little 8-).

Rando--do you mean have I played a talking drum?  My percussive experience gets
about as exotic as rototoms.  I just haven't had the chance to experiment . . .
once tried bongos and once I got the sounds down could jam like hell.  You can
get at least 60 million sounds out of those things!!!!!!  Not to mention hand
slaps, etc.  It was fun.
