The Clapper / Small Sins

It all really started back in the late 50's early 60's. Remember Motown? Remember what the foundation of that whole scene was? Me.



British Invasion. Love Me Do? Me too!



70's - Arena rock and the double live gatefold. How the heck do you think they recorded all those awesome 'audience' tracks? Yours truly.



Funk? Clapper.



Soul? Ditto.



Powerpop? I'm on Rundgren's speed dial, pal.



Indie rock? Me baby!



Chart toppers? Do you think anyone would remember 'Billie Jean' without my magic hands? Don't even get me started on 'We Are The World'. Let's just say I'm still waiting for the 'Real' mix to come out.



Grunge - Helloooo? Clapper here - is Soundgarden? I thought not. Spoonman couldn't even wipe my maracas.



Oasis? Wolfmother? Flaming Lips? Hot Hot Heat? The Who? Beck (yo - who just gave Beck's dancer/maraca player a 'clap lesson'? ME BABY!!!!)? Arcade Fire? Wilco? Weezer? Beach Boys? Who got them where they are? The man with the hands, that's who!



I am a Clap Assassin!



PS - I wanna get back into session work so drop me a line if you want a gold record.



PPS - I DJ at The Tap (517 Bloor W) in Toronto the last Wed of every month.
