JFS #30 The Dick Berk Interview…
Folks-
30 shows in and to mark this occasion I was joined by the legendary drummer Dick Berk. We had a ball.
He was Billie Holiday's last drummer and his stories about how she took care of him when he was a seventeen hear old on the road are really stunning. Dick was also the drummer on the song "Manuel Deeghit" which we cranked really loud. Long live Cal Tjader......and
1/2 a mile from Tucson by the Morning Light

this was a treat!! i have loved, admired and appreciated Dick since the ’60s. so glad he’s still jamming! and he’s still my sweetheart!
Oh my God! I’m loving the interview you conducted with Dick Berk. You guys touched on so many subjects that if I’d been part of the interview you’d have ordered me off the show for continually interrupting you. You’re a great interviewer who’s obviously done his homework. I’m going to call Dick Berk again and thank him for his kind, loving and tributary comments about his time with my dad. I enjoyed hearing how he got started in the business.
I’ll continue listening to all the interviews but just wanted to say thanks Jake. You’re a great addition to our art deficient world.
Peace,
Elizabeth Tjader
Thank you sooo much to listen to my dad’s voice and for his grandson.
