As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb

Loved him.

RIP Charlie and Thanks.
According to today's Times Charlie was still pissed off the following morning and Keef had to persuade him not to deck Mick again.
He always seemed happy to be around jazz musicians and sit as a regular punter. A nod and smile of acknowledgement if you made eye contact but no-one bothered him.
I know he quietly did a lot to help musicians he admired who were going through tough times. It's known in drummer circles that the royalties on his Vic Firth signature sticks went to jazz drummer Joe Morello and when Morello got back the kit he used with Dave Brubeck, Charlie paid enough for it to give Morello and his wife financial security in their last years.

Interestingly, the cowbell itself isn't played by Watts but by the Stones' producer Jimmy Miller - and the band could never replicate his slightly stumbled intro in concert.
"We've never played an intro to Honky Tonk Women live the way it is on the record," Watts said in the book According to the Rolling Stones.
"That's Jimmy playing the cowbell and either he comes in wrong or I come in wrong - but Keith comes in right which makes the whole thing right. It's one of those things that musicologists could sit around analysing for years. It's actually a mistake but from my point of view it works."
Steve Jordan is a bloody remarkable drummer with an amazing CV (inc the X-Pensive Winos with Keef of course) but if you were he, would you take that drumstool?
