photodaug (left) with professional drummer Fernie Monreal (right).

This past Saturday, Fernie was sitting in during rehearsal with our band, The White Caps. He's also an original member of 60's band "The Outsiders" and has toured with The Beach Boys, Mac Davis and is still an in-demand studio drummer. A real musical celebrity! He's currently playing with his own band, StageFright, and local dixieland band, The Mudskippers.

To hear him play, as doodlehead says, is pure "ear candy."
