Hey Doane! | ||

Good morning Doane. Being one of the "old guys" on this forum, I saw Tull "back in the day, I believe Clive Bunker was the drummer at the time).
Listening to their music on record and seeing pictures, I always had the impression that they were a very serious group. When I saw them, one thing that really
struck me was the humor in the band. Ian and the guys were amazing musicians and performers, but they were also very funny. There was a lot of humor in the
show. Is the band still that much fun to play with?
Thanks for hanging out with us too! |

Hey there Sea Jolly, Glad you appreciate the band and the sense of humor that we try to make part of the show. I think the audience enjoys it and we do too and
maybe that takes a little bit of pressure off the "serious" side of the music. I think it helps balance out the live presentation so that it
doesn't become too heavy-handed. We all have a pretty good sense of humor so it seems to come out fairly naturally....well sometimes anyway........other
times it's just bad vaudeville, but we enjoy it!!! And Clive Bunker.....WHAT a drummer he was and still is and a simply astonishing soloist, if you
remember that. He was the guy that bridged Ginger Baker and Billy Cobham for me. We've done some duets together over the years and it has always been great
fun. We're going to have him come up and play on some of the UK dates and play together again.....the audience always loves that and he is just simply a
really great guy, in addition to being a phenomenal drummer and one of my heroes!

Though I haven't asked any questions or anything yet I just want to point out how awesome this forum is and how thankful I am to have all of your insight.
It is such an exciting privilege to have this drumming bond and share. Special thanks to Doane for stopping in and providing some REALLY great insight! This
special guest thing is shaping up to be VERY NICE!
Cheers Nick |

I should have known you were using a MAC, I use Firefox on my PC, best browser ever, you might try that and see what happens. Update: Found this on Yuku, FAQuku.. What browsers does Yuku support?Yuku supports all major browsers and operating systems including Windows, Apple and Linux. However, if you are using a version of IE that is older than version 6.0 we suggest you upgrade to a new version (Currently version 7.x). If you want a reliable Yuku experience we suggest you look at using the Firefox browser. You can find it here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

Getting the gig with Tull | ||

Hi there Scott, In answer to your question, I found a link to an interview that I did back in 1985 after I had only been in JT for about a year. Part way down
the interview, I give a fairly in depth explanation of how I got the Tull gig, if you want to reference this link:
http://www.doaneperrypage.de/interviews-03.htm/ I hope this gives you a better idea how that all came about. And good luck to you!!! DP
