(3-20-12) Today is the birthday of the Hal Blaine of the blues drummers SAM LAY..check out Sam's resume: Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, & Bob Dylan ( on Highway 61 Revisited and as drummer with Dylan's band that "went electric" at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival). Between playing drums with the PRIME MOVERS and forming the STOOGES, IGGY traveled to Chicago and Sam became IGGY'S mentor, teaching IGGY his most important lesson, mainly that the IG should go home and create his OWN blues from his OWN experiences...hence THE STOOGES and THE WORLD WE NOW LIVE IN . . .
