Myles Plays Drums on this video( 3:35 Mins )

(Boy Scout Annual Dinner, Lagrange NY)

This was a chance for Myles to sit in on a few instruments with a number of experienced players from the area. This project was called the "Future of the Blues Band". In this video you can see Myles making child's play out of a "Swinging Flat Tire" type groove. He makes it look much easier than it is -- as a drummer myself for many years, I can understand the degree of difficulty drummers two and three times his age have with that beat. Look for more performances from this project coming soon.

There were a number of bands performing that day on the Village Green in Woodstock . The event was put on to honor Levon Helm and the music he has brought to Woodstock over the years. Levon and The Band were some of the first musicians to adopt Woodstock as their home and helped put the town on the musical map as a place where artists and creative people would be welcome to live and work.
