True. Bill could turn a corner like no other, and just as easily find a deep, powerful groove for them all to follow. As you say, he could swing, and knew when and how to do it. He led the band in a lot of ways. Those years, 71-74, were so magical, and often so near perfect, musically, thanks to Bill being the backbone. Not to knock Mickey, not at all, he brought his own magic to the band, but man, Bill was the real deal! Really, as much as we love him, he's still one of the most underrated drummers in rock and roll history.

Off to your right you'll see five mounted cowboys and off to your left a dozen or more! This El Paso is so fast, they may never catch ya..... But then they do. Just about a perfect El Paso....
