J.M. Van Eaton

DittyTV host Mark Edgar Stuart goes in depth with longtime Sun Studio session drummer, J.M. Van Eaton, the man that you can thank for rippin’ rhythms on tracks like “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’,” by Jerry Lee Lewis. He ventured into Sun Studios around 1955, when Rock and Roll was first being invented, or discovered, if that’s the way you want to look at it. He’s a devout and dignified man with enough stories to fill a book. For any book publishers out there, that’s your cue. Until that gets goin’, you can get a glimpse into some of his exciting experiences here in this conversation. Recorded Feb. 2019 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
