Man, the hits just keep on coming. Caught this headline on NOLA.com and had to do a double-take:
New Orleans drum legend Earl Palmer dies in L.A. at 83
Not much to add right now, but I’d like to declare a six-month moratorium on anymore of my musical heroes dying. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Oh well. Rest in peace, Brother Earl.
As it happens, I did a fairly extensive profile on Earl Palmer in July. Check it, yo.
May God bless Earl Palmer!
RIP to the Captain of all Tugboats.

Just going through recent comments and I have to applaud this link. Outstanding add, Dean, thanks for posting it. Earl Palmer was a busy, busy man!
