He also played all the jazz solos with the NSO at those Capital 4th concerts on PBS. Great musician, educator and human.

Paul Whaley, drummer for pioneering San Fran psych rockers Blue Cheer.

I saw him with Blue Cheer at the Black cat in 2006. He was 59 or 60 years old and he still was quite impressive behind the kit.

That's a bummer.   I saw them at the Safari Club, in probably 87, their one DC show during their initial run.  They were head and shoulders above the other bands of that time.
