Hey Ted.....

Believe it or not we never did any overdubs. Also, did not have anyone else playing any of the parts with Dicky. He did all the parts as you hear them. Dick Dodd was a great drummer. If I remember right, he would do the triplets and hit the snare in between the triplets. I can ask him what he remembers and how he actually played the parts.
What songs are you referring to? I will listen for the parts you are talking about and get back to you. But truly, I do not recall any overdubs from any of the instruments. We basically recorded live in the studio.

Warm Regards,
Eddie

I was going off my memory, without checking first, but the song I was thinking of was "Far Away Places". It's not a pure triplet on the hi-hat, per se, but it starts on the second verse, about 30 seconds in. If that is all Dicky at one time, thats incredible, because I hear the ride still going along with a two handed hi hat figure. What a sweet song. Also, what about the tambourine on Movin'?
Dicky was a fantastic drummer and what a resume form the Mouseketeers to the Showmen to the Standells. He's got more American pop culture in his little finger than... well I can't think of a good end to the metaphor. I was also meaning to ask about that one old 8X10 of you guys that lists "Skip" on drums. Was that Skip Hand? Dicky Dodd and Skip Hand RULE!
Thanks Eddie,
Ted

Eddie, give Far Away Places another listen - it's definitely an overdub. You can hear snare fills at the same time as the two-handed hi-hat hits - a physical impossibility. Unless you had another person playing the hi-hat in the studio.

Here is the update on Eddies video interview....

I was not happy with the quality of the video we shot at Clints show. Some of the sound was bad & you couldn't really hear Eddie very well (my fault). I was out of focus a few times. I didn't bring my A game that day.

Eddie & I have discussed this. Sometime this month we plan to to shoot some video under more controlled conditions that will produce something that everyone will enjoy. Stay tuned..

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting and jamming with Eddie Bertrand this last weekend!

HBKahuna picked myself, Maui, and his son Markus up form the airport, and when we got to HB's house, Eddie was already there - sitting at the table, playing HBKahuna's Jazzmaster, and warming up. Too cool!

The Jam was great -

Afterwards, HbKahuna offered his home to anyone that wanted to come over and hang out - so Eddie, John Benton, Frank Hughes, Maui, Markus, and I all went back.

Eddie stayed until 2:30 AM telling stories about his meeting with Leo Fender, and living and playing in a band in SO Cal in the early 60's.

I never thought I'd actually get to meet Eddie Bertrand, and to actually sit and talk with him was fantastic!

Oh, and the t-shirts are very cool looking!

Good to have you back, Eddie. Any update on the search for a backing band?

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.

Hi spskins,

T Shirts will be available as soon as can get my store active....There are some changes to the site that need to get done then we will be good to go. Thank you for your interest.

Sincerely,

Eddie
