I heard Boxdrummer showed up and played with Rev.Billy and was miked through the PA.The crowd went wild.
Dec 17,2005 John Hammond @ the S.B.I in Melbourne Beach,Fl.
John Hammond played his heart out ,1 3/4 set just John and harp and two guitars. He did a song by Chuck Berry that I love and have not seen him sing "No Money Down" I have seen John about 20 times and never heard him preform this song. It was a good blues crowd there.

Boxdrummer is Back and Bad at the Beach Shack in his own words
WHEW!...so..12/4/05
Ben prestage (unannounced) was playing the Beach Shack w/his oldtime harp player Dave Hawkins. I get a call...."come to the Beach Shack boxdrummer!" So., this time I took my box, brushes AND a low boom mic stand, a new mic, and my new Marshall amp...and amplified my playing. Aside from a full time invitation to play anytime w/Ben (he loved it! I've played w/Ben several times, but NEVER amplified...that was his idea)....a crowd pleaser....a few solo's, several rounds of applause...a fanning off, and a sweat wipe while playing/from the Rev. Billy (who came in to watch, he even seemed impressed...he's already figuring out how to create a full set of drums using boxes so I can play w/him!! I do play maracas w/the Rev. when he plays w/a full band) Bruce Johnson showed up and played harp with Dave, very different styles and they play great together. So a foursome it was. Ben kept turning around and yelling to me "I love that! turn it up" so up it went and I just played my heart out...loving every second, every beat, every song...it was the most fun I've had playing since the OLD days!!! Exhausted...a few blisters...but I'm flying high! Ben announced evey set that you'll NEVER see a group like this ANYWHERE in the WORLD! TWO harp players...(and Ben was playing his cigar box guitar) and TWO boxes being played /simultainiously, as ONE group!!! He was great as usual....and the four of us had a BLAST playing...we played way past the Sun. nite cerfew...no one seemed to mind! I just had to tell someone....so you guys got my rap!! "Look out Brevard...here comes the BOXDRUMMER!"...anyone got a band-aid for my finger? It's 'bout down to the bone!! Tnx for listenin' to me...boxdrummer gone pro
