Thanks for joining us for this week’s Reaper’s Rotation, featuring our headliner, the man whose song gave us one of the longest drum solos in rock history, Doug Ingle. We’ve got one half of the songwriting duo who penned beloved movie songs from the 1960s and two men who were pioneers in American punk and Brazilian rock, respectively.
