About me: Ellis Drum Shop is a drummer's paradise. It has the latest and greatest new gear as well as drums of yesterday. A place drummers not only like to hang out, but also learn something, talk about drums, and buy drums. A place where drummers can feel at home. A place of its own. Not hidden in the back of a super store like a lost child. A drum shop, not a drum department. Ellis Drum Shop has it all. Well, almost. We still are trying to figure out how to deflate your singer's ego. So stop on by and join the debate.
Happy Birthday Tim!! Hope to see you this Aug for our reunion. Tiana and Ikaika are coming up there too. There are grown up now. Ikaika turns 21 on the 29th. Wow!! Hope your day is a Great One! Love and Aloha Terri

Not everything you create will be a masterpiece, but you get out there and you TRY and sometimes it really happens. The other times you’re just stretching your soul.” …Dr. Maya Angelou
A petition has been created for consideration by the California Parole Board at the upcoming hearing of drumming legend Jim Gordon (just check out the discography on the Jim Gordon MySpace Tribute site – The sheer number of hit songs he played on is literally hard to believe).
Despite being diagnosed as an acute paranoid schizophrenic by five separate psychiatrists, he was sentenced to 16 years to life in 1984.
The judge agreed at sentencing that the Mr. Gordon was "suffering from a profound mental illness," but was unable to find him not guilty by reason of insanity due to the State of California's tightening of the legal definition a couple of years earlier (in reaction to the notorious "Twinkie defense," by the way).
This petition is completely legitimate – It has already been signed not only by fans, but by several of Jim Gordon's contemporaries. In addition, many of the living legends that he has worked with have written letters for the Board's consideration.
Of course the Board's decision will be based on a review of several factors such as medical evaluations, but the petition is intended to show the degree of support that still exists for this brilliant musician and songwriter.
The author will also forward a copy to Jim Gordon himself to assure him that he has by no means been forgotten.
A link to the petition is found on Jim’s MySpace Tribute Page.
If you'd like to help get the word out, please feel free to pass this message along.
