Happy 80th Birthday Bill The Drummer!
Bill Kreutzmann, The lone surviving original member of the Grateful Dead, was born in Palo Alto, California on this date in 1946.
Kreutzmann assembled his Billy The Kids ensemble with Billy Strings and James Casey (RIP) in Hawaii for a late celebration of his 75th birthday. The pandemic-era “Grateful Mahalo” concerts were broadcast from Kauai.
This “Grateful Mahalo” version of “Sitting In Limbo” shows off why Kreutzmann is such a great drummer. He is able to provide a delicate touch to the Jimmy Cliff cover that helps accentuate Strings’ vocals in a way he did so many times for Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir.
🍻🎂 Raise a glass for Billy K!

“Fun playing with you Aron”
“Yeah, you too Bill Payne!” Bill is a monster of a player. Still. And a huge influence on us keys players. But most importantly, after seeing a screening of the Little Feat documentary and getting some hangs with Bill, Im reminded that kindness, big open ears, and little ego leads a righteous path for a long career in this crazy industry.
“What a blessing it is that Phil, Bobby and Billy made such concerted efforts to collaborate with so many different musicians of different generations, and how encouraging they were to have us musicians play their songs expressed through our unique identities,” @thediscobiscuits ’ keyboard player @aronmagner proclaims, on the afternoon after appearing at the Joy Theater in New Orleans for the Busted Down in Bourbon Street event as a member of Grahame Lesh & Friends, alongside Oteil Burbridge, Daniel Donato, John Kadlecik, John Molo, Kanika Moore, Bill Payne and the Preservation Hall Horns.
In our latest catch-up with the artist, he shares tales of his own Grateful Dead come-up, and the properties that inform ‘SPAGA Plays Dead.’ Deadtronic debuts in its full form tonight @chickiewahwahnola with Magner, @michael_travis_music and @jaylanedrummer . Click the link in bio to keep reading.
