Amazing 🤩

[@owenmccaffrey5730]

I had the good fortune to see Grover live six months before he passed. It was a dream for me to see and hear the man I'd worshiped for decades play. He did not disappoint. What was even more amazing than his musicianship was the sense you got that he was happy to be playing for you. A musical genius. A nice man.

Funny, till today July 4th, 2024. I'd forgotten all about this fine man. 68 yrs, and time just blazed by me.

[@chrismitchell45]

I grew up playing Texas blues, funk and soul and am a groove oriented drummer. My favorite drummer is Bernard Purdie and favorite groove is the half time shuffle which (depending on how it’s played) can be a very busy groove. Then there’s Steve Gadd… his grooves often take the opposite approach. He will use the space created by NOT hitting a drum or cymbal to accentuate a groove. Outstanding musician and an American treasure. As are all of these musicians. How awesome would it be to play with Grover! I am blessed to have been born in 70. Great video.

[@harrywelch2844]
