Daleâs work was directly and mightily informed by the Arabic music that he listened to as a child. âMy music comes from the rhythm of Arab songs,â Dale told the journalist George Baramki Azar, in 1998. âThe darbukkah, along with the wailing style of Arab singing, especially the way they use the throat, creates a very powerful force.â

The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, also known as the Swampers, is a group of American studio musicians playing soul, R&B, rock and roll and country, based in the city of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. They have appeared on more than 500 recordings, including 75 gold and platinum hits. Originally the house band at Rick Hall's FAME Studios, the group went on to found their own competing business, the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. The group was inducted into the Nashville-based Musicians Hall of Fame in 2008 and into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in 1995, "as four of the finest studio musicians in the world", also receiving the Lifework Award in 2008.

Hal Blaine, the studio drummer who lent his signature sounds and structure to scores of Grammy-winning and chart-topping songs — from Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to the Byrds and the Beach Boys — died Monday at the age of 90....
...Blaine was the drummer on 6 consecutive Grammy Records of the Year (and this has to be a record that will never be matched): Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass in 1966 for “A Taste of Honey,” Frank Sinatra in 1967 for "Strangers in the Night,” The 5th Dimension in 1968 for "Up, Up and Away,” Simon & Garfunkel in 1969 for “Mrs. Robinson,” The 5th Dimension in 1970 for "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In,” and Simon & Garfunkel in 1971 for "”Bridge over Troubled Water.”

That's an amazing record... what a great collection of songs and sounds. His work with S&G was sublime in many ways.

Damn I used to play that loud. I never knew her name but you can sure hear REM in everything they do. Or vice versa, I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Easter co-produced the first few REM records, one with Don Dixon - they're often considered the progenitors of the "jangle-pop" sound. The two bands were probably playing the same clubs in the Southeast-college-town circuit in those early days.
I saw Don with Marti Jones ca 1988 and he did a sort of review of the scene, talking about all the sharing of ideas and techniques they did in the old days (lol 6 years earlier). By then, Don and Marti had a drum machine... just a little box on the stage, they put a fake nose and glasses on it... That was the same show where, talking about how the industry can throw anyone a curve ball, Marti admitted that her A&R people had tried to get her to record Walk Like an Egyptian, but she couldn't see the point in it.

A local musician, Sara Romweber has passed away. Excellent, energetic drummer who played with Mitch Easter in Let's Active in the 1980s and more recently with her brother, guitar hero Dexter Romweber.
