Josh on the job and the stage.
This is the only known photo of a drummer at a concert. It is normally impossible because they are behind in the dark. A drum stand doesn't help.
Drummers are loud as a protest.
The photo was shot with a powerful spotlight and the DrummerCam, which is owned by KOMO in Seattle.
( OK, it's a joke but it is almost impossible to photograph drummers. George is a bass player and easy. But he is a drummer as well and I have to get up on the stage to find him with the camera.
As for the KOMO joke [ didn't it make you wonder for a second? ], it is based on the fact that there used to be only one zoom lens in the world. The Seattle TV station owned it and they loaned it around the country for things like the Super Bowl. It was five or six feet long. That was your Fact For The Day. )*
