    Yeah, someone sent me that one a lil' while back. Classic Cosby. And he is actually a pretty good jazz drummer. I think he was friends with Max Roach, if I'm not mistaken.

    I saw this long ago but just watched the whole thing again. Man, he's funny! He's got a way of telling it that makes it flow and climax and hit the punchline just right! He would have been a master musician.

    Yes Bill has endless hidden talents that we don't know about. I allways loved the way he could communicate with children and make fun out of it. Love the man.

    This is a track from an album I have. I don't think he does any drumming on this one, but the vocals are, ummm, interesting at times The album is "Hooray for the Salvation Army Band".

    So today I was thinking...I should post that video of Bill Cosby talking about the time Max Roach bailed him out when he (Cosby) tried to play a song above his pay grade. Not wanting to start a duplicate thread I used the search function to see if anyone had posted it yet.

    I found the video here and apparently my memory ain't what it used to be.

    The funny thing is that back in the '70's, I saw something similar happen at a jam in NYC. The song being played was "A Night in Tunisia", which, while not super fast, went on for about 20-25 minutes and the drummer just ran out of steam.
