*** Charlie Watts, drummer of the Rolling Stones has a birthday today.Watts is one of the only drummers I've seen that while playing a simple 4/4 beat, would not hit the hi-hat when hitting the snare drum.
Not sure the significance of that, just thought I'd share.
We featured a Stones' classic from the 70's at the end of the birthday segment, "Miss You."
*** The Nineties Nugget From The Newsroom debuted today -- it will air again Thursday morning at 7:50am -- and the first song chosen was "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum.
*** For the 80's Escape, we played something from The Bangles.
Their bass player -- Michael Steele -- turns 55 today, and our song of choice was their 1988 hit, "Hazy Shade Of Winter."
