Agreed; that was the first time I've heard a DW on a gospel CD.  Those tubs sounded wonderful on that CD!   ;D

Yo, believe it or not but me and a couple of my musicians friends were asking this same question a few months ago.  I wonder.

YO!!  Kevin Brunson is still nice on the kit.  Heard him a few months ago hitting with Kim Mcfarland with Rich Gibbs and Al Willis. These are some of the old guys can still give you a little flava.  K B is also doing alot of jazz gigs around Chi!!
