You know, it’s funny -I’ll be 50 this year and I’m still such a ‘groupie’. Thing is, it has purpose (oh God – another purp word!).
Deep Purple and its individual members’ solo efforts are always about talent. An approach that is gone now in contemporary artists.

I still marvel at Sarabande, the Concerto, and just love Pictured Within. Got anything planned with Pete york? What a great pairing.

I learned to play drums listening to Grand Funk in the late 60′s then really tried to learn drums with Purple beginning with Machine Head. Paicey has always fabbergasted me, God bless him. I did OK, but let’s face it . . .

You inspired me to take up keyboards. No, I’m not any good, but every time I learn something new I get that great sense of accomplishment that the musical journey brings. It’s actually really cool starting from scratch. Do you still get that feeling?

I wish you well and good fortune. Thanks for everything, Jon.- Dan
