Re: Alex Acuna on Chick Corea's Touchstone
Another good one in 6/8 is Ouverture #5 by Uzeb and violinist Didier Lockwood on '86 Absolutely Live: Yes nice souvenir! Got that on LP...

Re: Robbie Ameen
Very interesting post Tombo!
Would you agree that Alex Acuna is one of the Pioneer drummers who incorporated the left-foot clave to the drums? I really dig how his left-foot clave sounds ... Actually Alex is one of those naturals... Always feels good to listen to...

Re: My 10th year on HOD
Happy Anniversary Tombo... I think it may be my 11th year or so... Things have changed somewhat ... I am now much more high-level in my posts than I used to... Anyone remember HOD member "BEATS"? Through HOD I came to know Tombo who's from the same hometown... We had the chance to do the d...
