Roger Nelson
Season 3, Long Beach Marine Stadium
"I met Roger through Paul. Paul was my boat and logistics contact for the Longbeach tinyboatsession. Roger had brought his little boat, Ruby Belgonia for tinyboat options. He mentioned offhand that he played drums in a band once. I mentioned that he should do a tinyboatsession. "I do have Doumbek in the boat," but quickly waved off the idea. JB did his song in Roger's boat. While the electric motor silently pushed us into position Roger, now an octogenarian, reflected a bit more on his drumming experience. Roger did not drum as a side gig. Roger drummed professionally for 30 plus years in all kinds of gigs all over SoCal. Caught up in the moment of making music on the water, Roger grabbed his drum and added one more serendipitous song to Tinyboatsession Season 3 at Long beach." Jordan & Clarabelle
