to teach myself how to play drums.

I set up my drums between 2 large stereo speakers & just played along with my favorite albums & songs, 5 or 6 hours a day, every day, until I got to be a pretty good drummer.

That song was one of my favorites, and that album is probably my all-time favorite Linda Ronstadt album.

Good pick!
