    VOL. 7, NO. 10 Cover Photo by Rick Malkin FEATURES ALEX VAN HALEN Rock musicians are often accused of being more concerned with the rock 'n' roll lifestyle than with the music. That lifestyle is very much a part of Alex Van Halen's image, but underneath that image is a serious musician who has a lot to say about drums and drumming, and he says it here in this MD exclusive. by Robyn Flans 8 PHILLIP WILSON For a drummer to have played with such diverse groups as The Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band indicates that his musicianship is not limited in any way, and that is certainly true of Phillip Wilson, who has a knack for weaving seemingly contrasting influences together into one unique style. by Chip Stern 16 DRUMS AROUND THE WORLD Japan's Stomu Yamash'ta; England's Ronnie Verrell; Brazil's Ivan Conti; Canada's Steve Negus; Israel's Aron Kaminski; Den- mark's Alex Riel. 20 FRANK BEARD In this revealing interview, Frank Beard, the unpretentious, self-taught drummer for ZZ Top, discusses his career from his early emulations of '60s British rock bands, to his later involvement with a psychedelic group, and his present position as a member of the highly successful, Texas-based rock trio. by Susan Alexander 26 ROCK CHARTS COLUMNS "Lowdown In the Street" PROFILES 74 by James Morton ON THE MOVE Nelson Montana 30 ROCK PERSPECTIVES A Left-Handed Perspective REVIEWS EDUCATION by Robert Doyle 92 ON TRACK 94 CLUB SCENE STRICTLY TECHNIQUE PRINTED PAGE 96 Handling the Ups and Downs Triplets With Buzz Rolls 46 by Joe Morello by Rick Van Horn 100 NEWS COMPLETE PERCUSSIONIST UPDATE Junkanoo EQUIPMENT by Robyn Flans 110 by Neil M.

  • A Conversation with Suzy Bogguss by Frank Goodman (12/2007, Puremusic.Com) What a Singer. When, Only Now and Then, a Singer's Ba
    A Conversation with Suzy Bogguss by Frank Goodman (12/2007, puremusic.com) What a singer. When, only now and then, a singer's basic sound is completely arresting, it's like a wake up call. You can have attitude, you can be dramatic, elastic or gymnastic-- but when you have that sound, you can just sing, and it's all there. You can dial in degrees of whatever else you want, but that's just icing on the cake. And it's the cake they call angel's or devil's food, right? A dozen or so albums into a charmed career, Suzy says she's just realizing she's actually the thread that ties it all together, not whether she's singing Country, or Swing, or Jazzy Pop. And the last of those is the place where Sweet Danger goes with assured poise. Though most of her fantastic work has been in the Country vein, her fans followed her when she cut the landmark Swing record with her old friend Ray Benson and past and present members of Asleep At The Wheel. It's a cinch that they will be along for the ride here to witness Suzy absolutely killing the great Beth Nielsen Chapman and Annie Roboff song "Right Back Into The Feeling," or the mindblowing cover of the Peter Cetera classic "If You Leave Me Now." Sometimes you don't really get how great a singer is until they come out of the bag that made them famous. We said jazzy pop, but at times it feels also like a really great soft rock album.

  • COPING with FTD by Cindy Odell
    COPING WITH FTD by Cindy Odell I have the interesting experience of addressing FTD from two different directions. I have been the caregiver for three family members, my grandmother, my mother and my aunt. My grandmother’s third child, my uncle, also died from dementia but I was never his caregiver. All four of these family members were diagnosed with “dementia” and it was assumed that it was Alzheimer’s, but no biopsy or autopsy was performed on any of them. Not much was known about FTD at that time and, unfortunately, it still is unknown to the majority of people. Knowing what I do now, I firmly believe they each had FTD, not Alzheimer’s. My symptoms are mirroring theirs perfectly. After the death of my mother, and early into my aunt’s battle with dementia, when I was in my early 50’s, I was also diagnosed with FTD. Since I was in the earlier stages, it helped immensely that I was helping to care for my aunt at the same time because I understood the disease much better since I was dealing with it myself and was able to be much more patient with her. I am quite fortunate that I can still read and write. Several people have suggested that I consider writing a book. My husband has had a book published, so I know how much stress is involved in the process. I also would rather provide my insights and opinions free of charge. I do not claim to have all the answers, especially since no two cases of FTD are identical.
