DREW ZINGG


I thought I'd introduce you all to I guy I knew when I was growing up in New York City.  Drew Zingg was a funny kid who grabbed a guitar at a very early age and just spent every moment playing it.  I can remember hanging out on a street corner on a spring afternoon as Drew played with a three-piece band he had back when we were all about 12 years old.  He knew maybe a half a dozen chords then, but he was the coolest dude we all knew at the time and we rocked out listening to him.

Forty years later, Drew is a mon-stah!  I haven't seen him since the old days, but I've sure heard him a lot on CDs (as have all of you).  He toured with Steely Dan for about 3 years and was even their musical director for that time.  He's played with Boz Scags, Marcus Miller and a host of other top bandleaders too.  So here are a couple of clips of Drew doing his thing.  Hope you dig.
