Andyroo Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I put this in the historical forum because of the age of the person in question.... Happy Birthday (tomorrow) to John Smith a.k.a. Smitty, from Caballeros Alumni's snare line. Most people aren't aware of it, but Smitty served as the model for the snare drummer in that famous painting, "Spirit of '76."

cabalumnidrummer Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thank you, everyone for the well-wishes. Andy, I still have a long way to go to catch you! Hey Gene! Your dad tells me you're planning to be at the Grand Prix. Come early, and bring your sticks! Your first instructor can be your next one, too!
