Thursday, November 1, 2012. There are a few reasons why I am writing this post today. Second, this would have been Karen I. Karen was a big fan of Gene, and took pride in the fact they they shared Chicago as their birthplace and home town, and the fact that both were Polish-American. Of course, Karen loved music. Mel Torme was quoted as saying that the name Krupa would forever be associated with drums.

Mike Tarrani Deltona, FL and Garden Grove, CA. Saturday, October 6, 2012. This blog started like with a focus on snare drums, many of which were vintage. I have always had a strong affinity for vintage instruments. This is evidenced by some of my earlier posts, such as my 13 January 2010 piece titled Vintage Drum Resources. And two follow-on posts titled Researching Vintage Drums - a resource. And the companion, Evaluating, Cleaning and Restoring Vintage Drums. Is a highly regarded reference.
