Another great musician that I met at the Musician's Union and became friends with was Earl Palmer.
Earl just went into Eternal Life September 18, 2008 - several weeks ago - at the age of 84.
He worked with Elvis. He worked for Motown and Phil Spector. The Righteous Brothers. Frank Sinatra.
I used to go into the Union looking for Earl and get on him about being from Louisiana in the way that only one Southerner can get on another Southerner. Out in LA it seemed like no matter what your race or background, being from the South was like being from the hood.
And he earned it; Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, here's Earl's link there.
