  1. I'm guilty of not commenting enough on this blog, but to not comment on Will Rigby's talent would be a sin! I'm really glad to read that others recognize Will Rigby and encourage more! Heck, back when I was a teenager, I remember seeing a dB's photo in Trouser Press and thinking "now that guy looks cool!."

    1. Oh yeah.

      All the dB's are cool, but Will is the coolest of the bunch, IMHO...

    2. Far more Will stuff that I realized. Got ‘em on shuffle now. Will filled in on drums some (about four times) the last 12 months in the Kinks band Peter Holsapple plays in with me, The Well Respected Men. That’s how Peter met his current bassist Glenn Jones. Looking forward to seeing their trio (Peter, Glenn and Will) at some shows this month.
