SKF NOTE: An early 1980s letter from Bill Bruford with what appears to be a good news/bad news message.

Bruford starts out accepting Modern Drummer‘s offer to serve on its Advisory Board. He asks (tongue in cheek?) that, in exchange, we “send the magazine over the minute it is off the presses and stop asking me to pay for it!”

I have no idea how MD Founder Ron Spagnardi handled magazine subscriptions for Advisory Board members. Either way, Bruford was a strong addition to the Board.
