HE HAD TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY DRUMS AND HE LEARNED WITH THE BYRDS – Michael Clarke

He was born in Spokane in 1946. He had fled home to California when he was 17 years old, to become a musician. According to the legend, he was discovered while playing on a beach. He had never played drums and before entering the Byrds, his musical knowledge were the piano lessons, which he received from his mother in his youth. Both of his parents were artists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAxCQX_oDbg

MICHAEL CLARKE is American musician known as drummer of the rock band Byrds (after a brief period in Hawaii as a painter and work in a hotel). He played with the Flying Burrito Brothers between 1969 and 1971, while until 1981 he was a member of Firefall. His health has been undermined by drinking alcohol. After three decades of heavy alcohol consumption he died of liver failure in 1993. During his last days, he had expressed the desire to be a television testimony to alert children about the dangers of alcoholism. A year after his death, his paintings were published in a book by Dick Gautier and Jim McMullan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TdM5znse8Y
