Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful music.
I had begun to play drums then and would go up to Dorkay House every Sunday afternoon where Gideon Bra Nxumalo became my teacher. I was just a beginner and was always encouraged, especially by Kippie Moeketsi. Many musicians had already left, Dollar, Miriam, Hugh. Others were soon to follow but whom I was fortunate to still see: Chris McGregor, Mkaya Ntshoka, Dudu Pukwana. Others , like Early Mabusa, stayed on. It was really sad when they began passing away.
I am a drummer today, far, far, away and only have thanks and admiration for those amazing musicians.
