Hey Joe...im a musician myself of 40 years...been on the road and in the studio. I really enjoy your channel and your guests and your interviews. Its beyond cool to hear the stories behind the music I love and grew up listening to with the musicians directly involved. I eat up these stories like this. Look forward to many more, kind sir!
Joe, I haven't chimed in for a while with all the insanity around us now...hope you are keeping your sanity through all this. Your presentations are like a oasis in the desert for a musician like me. I am so grateful you captured this moment with all these heros. This is a national treasure and without you most of these things would never have happened and would be lost to the ages. The entire interview is great but my favorite part (other than Hal's insane sense of humor-of course) is the way Jim stole everyone's thunder with that really inspiring story at the end. Kudos to you brother! Bob M.
Thanks Joe. I could gobble this stuff up all day. I'm sure Hal Blaine (& others) had a real appreciation for what u & the HOF do showcasing so many unsung legends. These guys must not be forgotten.
Thank you for sharing. RIP Hal Blaine & Earl Palmer. I read somewhere that Hal Blaine was the most recorded musician ever. There definitely were some of the best musicians in the wrecking crew.
It's great to hear the stories told by the actual musicians from the sessions. People like Hal Blaine, James Burton and others. Thanks for this wonderful set.
It's no coincidence that my favorite track "Any World" on Steely Dan's 1975 album "Katy Lied" was the one track on the album where Hal Blaine played the drums. He made the outro to that song the most exhilarating finish to any Steely Dan recording.
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I always love your videos. My students and I watch them all the time. Thanks for knowing how to interview people and get the most out of them.
Back in 64" .. when I was 15 I was practicing and playing along with records .. working out with an Earl Palmer album ... it was thrilling when I finally got the hang of "One Mint Julep"! ..( got the hang,but not his amazing breaks:-) Look up One mint julep (Drumsville album) some tough licks in there even by today's standards ! :-) ... I have to admit I got a little misty here, seeing and hearing this humble man .. man oh man the great Earl Palmer! thank you for this! ..
Earl Cyril Palmer, Hal Blaine, RiP... Regarding Earl Palmer, who is considered the inventor of the word "funky" and one of the inventors of (backbeat) Rock n Roll drumming with Fats Domino, Little Richard and many others, Wiki writes: "When asked by Max Weinberg what more of the recording sessions he'd played on Palmer replied, "Don't ask me which ones I played on. I should have done like Hal [Blaine]. Hal used to get gold records for all the things he played on. I never did that, you know. I would like to have a room with all those things in them. It would have been nice-show my grandchildren when they grow up so they don't say, 'Oh shut up old man and sit down.' I could just say, 'Look. I don't have to tell you nothing. There it is."
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum: I have to thank you! After so many years, i still learn so much about back stage things on TH-cam that never were easy available in europe, germany before... It makes a big difference to know the stories behind all those great musicians and unforgettable recordings.
It’s fantastic to have these memories and stories recorded....thanks to all. It would have been good to hear a bit more from Jim about his time with John Hiatt, Little Village and others. Maybe one day Joe will persuade him to tell us a bit more.
Hi Barbara... thanks for watching. Jim and I were talking about a interview before Corona so maybe we can make it happen in the near future.... Best, Joe
Fantastic Joe! Gotta love the story that Hal told about Yul Benner being sent the Golden Finger! Way to funny! Love the ending "And tomorrow I will know I'm good"! Just classic stuff. Thanks again Joe for these amazing videos. Be well & stay safe.....👍👍😉😉
The most fun part of this is watching Chad Smith. While a pretty decent drummer with the Chili Peppers, you can tell he is quite aware he is in the midst of drum legends. He almost is a stand in for the rest of us, watching and listening in awe of all that is being said!
Well said and quite accurate. Chad knows whose shoulders we all stand on as drummers and he is sitting there with three of them and he knows it. Good human being. Chad was a very good drummer very young and maybe had he grown up in the same era as these great legends he may have had a similar career. But he did Okay with The RHCPs.
@@rickpickard6513I don’t dig the RHCP either, but Chad is not only a great player but also very much one of «them» when it comes to drummers. Humble, really, really nice and accepted by the greats. I once spent an evening in a bar around the table with a couple of Legendary jazz players and CS. His prescence was appreciated and they clearly viewed him as a peer.
Once again, these get together sessions are almost magic. These were the real guys who were there. I’m glad they touched on drum machines. Back in the early 80’s Goodman Music put on a mini Namm show (no affiliation) “in LA. Roger Linn introduced the Linn Drum, Featured on George Bensons hit, “Turn Your love Around” After the Demo and speech by Roger Linn, every drummer in walked out of the room in total disbelief.
Wow,, more excellence, thanks Joe AND I'd just gone down a Yul Brynner rabbit hole a few days ago then Hal Blaine just happens to have those amazing Yul stories lol.... Lucky me !!!
This is pure gold, could Paul Williams ( Chairman of ASCAP) help you animate some of these and have the guys tell their stories, such as Blaine having a drum roadie ahead of him w keys to all the studios.... Who would pay for these culled animation gems? Why the record companies of course to replay their past glory and promote " the good ol days" and spur more record sales? Or am i nuts? This is wayyyy too good for TH-cam, needs a mini series or cd compilation. Go for it Mr Chambers, im sure advertisers would line up to help you find a way to broadcast these amazing stories and legends 🙏
Thanks MM....I really appreciate you watching and supporting us this way. What you’re saying would be fun but I don’t know what or how to get corporate sponsorships. That’s why I did it. I could’ve really done it right if I had the proper funding. Thanks again for watching...Best, Joe
How funny! "Setting up in front of the orchestra" haha. Ive had my own, lets say, choice experiences with violin players at scoring sessions treating me with contempt. Very enjoyable Joe, thanks.
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Thank you, Joe!! Yes, I saw that…after I made my comment! I loved how you tried to prepare us for the “PC” portions…lol…..many of us are not ‘Snowflakes.’ Thanks again..as always for your efforts!
It’s just great hearing these guys talk about the early parts of their careers. Regarding the political correction end of things. Back then it was a term of endearment, a way to show your friendship or love for that person by saying something that other people would consider offensive. I found it was more of an east coast thing. Great musicians, great people and also great relationships that produced so much great music. 👍👍👍
Hi 1000 mg.... we are presently open Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Things are very slow so for now that’s what’s happening. If we can keep things going until Spring I think we’ll be back to M-S 10:00 to 5:00 as always. If we temporarily close again it will be on our website. Thanks for asking... thanks for watching our channel too.... Best, Joe
$1,000 a day back in the late 60’s is like $7,600 today!! Very sad that Hal Blaine had to part with so much of his money due to divorces. I know his first wife passed away but those two additional marriages cost him dearly.
I wished you had 5 more hours of that interview. Just incredible listening to their stories. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching Mike..... Joe

I’ve recorded Hal, Jim and Chad.
Jim And Hal are great but Earl is the king
Joe, I had a plan to come out from California to the museum in April of last year. Of course that didn't happen. Have you all opened up again yet?
