When I played with Blues Print, (circa 1968-69) we used two keyboardists, Steve P. and me. Stan Becraft and I reunited after 40 some years in Blues Print Reunion with Michael Anderson on guitar. Stan plays drums in this line-up. You can catch our blues trio (guitar, organ, drums) at Traveler’s Cove in Florence from time to time, watch their calendar! – Greg Aldridge, Feb, 2016

    John Tabor played drums when I was in the band. I grew up with Bruce Knutson, and he and I played in some garage bands earlier, but he never played drums in Blues Print when I was there. I was not in the band when it formed. His older brother managed the band however,. When I played with Blues Print, (circa 1968-69) we used two keyboardists, Steve P. and me.
