SKF NOTE: Thank you in advance to the humanitarian who helps drummer/bandleader Sherrie Maricle get back her stolen Yamaha Bebop Kit. Sherrie tells the story at the end of this post.

Stealing a musician’s instrument, IMO, is akin to stealing someone’s ability to communicate. It is a particularly loathsome act.

If you have a Facebook account you can reach Sherrie here.

You can also reach Sherrie through her website.

Here’s my recent audio interview with Sherrie:
