Martin H. Samuel - Catch 22 Déjà Vu. Poem (October 11, 2021)

2021/10/11   Martin H. Samuel - Catch 22 Déjà Vu. Poem (Stereo Story # 624) 

Then when auditioning for Badfinger as replacement drummer all those years ago one summer, 
I scored the job, had the gig but then, Pete Ham asked, 
“Do you write songs?” and I lied, when I replied, “No.”
Said he to me, “Oh, that’s a shame,” we really like your beat.” 
How was I to know? So, I composed myself when it dawned on me, from the jaws of victory, 
I had snatched defeat.

When Badfinger were auditioning for a Mike Gibbins replacement, Martin H. Samuel managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by failing to own up to being a songwriter. He'd been conditioned into believing bands didn't want song-writing drummers so, when asked by Pete Ham, he denied he was skilled in such ways not knowing that they wanted an all-writing band.

Replacement drummer for Mike Gibbins (Spring 1972) 
Stu Boy King (The Dictators 1973-75) was interviewed by Ugly Things magazine in in 2015.
He somehow got acquainted with Stan Polley. Polley hooked him up with Badfinger. Stu Boy was living in Bandfinger's recording studio for a period of time and the band seemed interested in hiring him as a drummer. They backed off because of potential visa/travel complications.

(1973) The Dictators put out ads and auditioned drummers and chose Stu Boy King, mostly because he had a nice set of drums and a rich millionaire detective father.

mini news
Badfinger からドラマーの Mike Gibbins が抜けるという噂が出ています。彼がアメリカ公演への同行をいやがったことから本格化したこの噂は、火のないところから煙は立たない のことわざ通り、あながちデマでもないようです。
