In one of the great pleasures of our lives, we are joined by a man who really needs no introduction. The master of restraint himself, the thunder to Ringo's lightning, the Sidebury to George's Wilbury. From John to Bob to Harry to Randy, the drummer who put the roll in so much great rock music... Mr. Jim Keltner.
