The Sunday Musical Offering - Happy Birthday to John Suntken

My son, John, turned 21 today. I am feeling kind of old!! It seems like yesterday when the pager went off during a Sunday service indicating that it was time to go to the hospital. Many hours later, the joy of Kathy and my life arrived into the world. Little did we know then what was in store for us. John has turned into a terrific young man and he is becoming a fine musician in his own right. The Sunday Musical Offering celebrates John's 21st birthday with three selections of his favorite drummers.

The first clip is of Greg Hutchinson performing live in Montreal in 1995. The second video is an older recording of Philly Joe Jones who passed in 1985. He was the drummer for the Miles Davis Quintet. The final selection is of Questlove (sometimes written as '?uestlove'), you read it correctly. He is best known as the drummer and joint frontman (with Black Thought) for the Grammy Award-winning band The Roots, which is now the in-house band for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

My learning curve is high for these gentlemen - but these are three awesome musicians.

Happy Birthday, John!
