Keith has said it many times: "No Charlie, no Stones."

My son and a drummer friend from Vancouver, Canada share this birthday with Charlie.

When I think of Charlie I think of the Jimmy H song lyric -

"so sing on singer and play on drummer ... till the end of time "

Charlie Watts .... too cool for school .... rock on buddy !!

That is stunning. I think some of the first efforts I ever made to play along with a fellow drummer friend might well have been to Charlie's work with the Hi-Fi raging - his snare and mine used as a tom-tom. Probably age 12-13 or so. Paint it, Black is in my mind, but it could have been something earlier.

By the way, here's one where it looks as if he got lucky and the stage kit was a Rogers. :) In any event, classic Watts and Stones:
