S2 E13 JOHN REYNOLDS The Engine Room Drummer The Dominoes and The Frank Sebastian Entertainment Revue. Owner of the Iconic John Reynolds Music City Store

John Reynolds is a South Australian icon, and one of the nicest gentleman that you could possibly chat with. John discusses his career as a performer with the Dominoes and the Frank Sebastian Entertainment Revue (among others), as well as what led to him starting his business in 1968 with $400, a business that would go on to play a part in many South Australian drummers’ careers, supplying, teaching, recording, and employing. John was recognised for his contribution towards the South Australian music scene in 2015 when he was inducted into the AMC Hall of Fame. The John Reynolds Music City Store has now sadly closed, but thankfully John kindly agreed to be interviewed and shares many wonderful stories with me during this chat. John has lived a remarkable life, a life led by the motto "there's no such thing as can't!" If you grew up in, or were a part of the Adelaide music scene during the 60s and 70s, this interview will be a walk down memory lane for you! 

The music used in this interview was recorded on February 7th, 2021 when John played a set with the John Stevens Jazz Band at the Tea Tree Gully RSL. The song "Calypso" was written by Tommy Flanagan February 4, 1977 and was released on the "Calypso" Album in 1980, performed by pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Elvin Jones.
