When Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones first got together in a London club in 1962 to form the seeds of the Rolling Stones, Mick Avory was their drummer.

Jagger and company's first gig as the Rolling Stones, at the Marquee Club, marked the beginning of Avory's tenure with the soon-to-be-giant band. It was not a long one, however, as the Stones didn't feel Avory was up to the task. Around the same time, art school student Ray Davies joined his brother Dave's band, the Ravens. Switching his career interest to music, Ray took over the band, which he renamed the Kinks. The Davies brothers completed their lineup with bassist Pete Quaife - and Mick Avory on drums.(Read more at: https://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Mick_Avory.html

Happy Birthday David Brown!!! If Know Your Bass Player employed a statistician, we’d discover that likely a billion people (and counting) have grooved in the past 50 years (and counting) to the Latin jazz fueled passages rendered by the late David Brown, founding member of Santana (1966-71, 1976).

As Carlos was a fervent practitioner of the multi-layered rhythmic modus operandi of electric Miles – and James Brown which utilized the art of repetition to the max, Brown intensely followed suite, digging deep in-the-pocket with hypnotic lines that grew more intense upon their reiteration with gradual harmonic embellishments.(Read more at: https://knowyourbassplayer.com/2015/03/10/2015-3-10-david-brown/)

Happy Birthday Micky Dolenz!!! In the fall of 1965, Micky was one of 400 applicants who responded to a trade ad that announced auditions for a new TV show about a rock band. He auditioned for The Monkees’ TV show by playing and singing Chuck Berry’s legendary rocker “Johnny B. Goode,” and wound up chosen for the show along with three other actors: Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork.

The Monkees' debut single, "Last Train to Clarksville," featuring Micky on lead vocals, hit the charts on September 10, 1966 and rocketed swiftly to number one. Two days later, the television show debuted on NBC to great success. The TV ratings remained high for two seasons, and the show won two Emmy awards for the first season for “Outstanding Comedy Series” and “Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy” going to veteran director James Frawley.

Micky and his fellow “TV bandmates” actually went on to become a real live rock band that first toured North America from late December 1966 to May 1967, and then began a US / UK summer 1967 tour that featured (at Micky’s invite, following the Monterey Pop Festival) none other than guitar legend Jimi Hendrix as the opening act for the first few dates. It was around this time that Micky also acquired one of the first Moog synthesizers ever made, which he played on the Monkees’ track written by Nesmith, “Daily Nightly,” almost two years before its use by The Beatles on their final studio album, Abbey Road.(Read more at: https://mickydolenz.com/about)

His early career saw him playing with his elder brother Glen for different local outfits which included 'Dream Police' who later became 'The Average White Band'. In 1974, aged 17, Brian set off for London in the hope of getting a drumming job.

Meanwhile Thin Lizzy were looking for a replacement for guitarist Gary Moore and on the suggestion of their roadie 'Big Charlie' from Glasgow, they had Brian Robertson try out and signed him up on the spot.

Robbo went on to play with Lizzy for four years, forming one half of the famous twin-guitar harmony with Scott Gorham. He played on the albums 'Jailbreak' and 'Live and Dangerous' among others. Following the UK tour for Live and Dangerous, he left the band to form 'Wild Horses' with ex-Rainbow bass player, Jimmy Bain.(Read more at: http://www.thinlizzy.org/brian_r.html)
