Quotes
"Duke Special is lucky enough to have the most entertaining drummer/percussionist in the world who goes by the name of Chip, and at various points throughout the show plays a cheese-grater, a walking stick with various shakers, cymbals and accoutrements, and even gives the audience an impromptu oral percussion lesson"
HOT PRESS
"Chip Bailey is one of the most consistently inventive drummer/percussionists your reviewer has seen in a long while"
KING TUTS
"a seasoned percussionist who can make music from just about any old junk. No, he's not a former Blue Peter presenter but a highly inventive and amusing gent whose random rhythmic accompaniments lifts the Duke's music to weird and wonderful levels"
BUSH HALL
"If any other drummer in the world told you that egg whisks and cheese-graters were for sale on the merchandising stand and offered a lesson in elementary kitchenware percussion halfway through the gig you might think it surreal. With Chip Bailey it seems like the most natural thing in the world"
SCOTT EDGAR
"Chip Bailey = percussion God"

Hi Chip! how are youuuuuuu??? I was gone for a while... that's why I didn't come here to bother you! You got lucky for a while, but I'm back up and running again!!!

Welcome and thank you for becoming our friend! The helpless must be protected, and those with no voice of their own must be spoken up for. Those who prey on our children rely on silence, and it must not be allowed to continue! So thank you for adding your voice to ours, together we will grow louder.... AND WE WILL BREAK THE SILENCE!!!

Hi Chip, I went to see LIVE again on Sunday, and I got Chad Gracey's drum stick!!! It says Chad Gracey, Live on it! Check out my pic section, cause I took pictures of it!
Can I have your drum stick next time when I see you with Duke Special?
Hi Chip, it's cold and raining at this moment here in the East Coast. I'm supposed to be out, but I didn't want to go out in the rain, so here I am on MySpace!
BTW, do you like horses? I love them! There are lots of horses around here. Barbaro and Filly(she beat 18 colts on Saturday, but she was put to sleep, cause she broke both of her ankles at the race)are both from Delaware Park near here, and Barbaro lived at a stable in PA till he was finally put to sleep last January(Barbaro shattered his leg at Preakness Stakes, and couldn't get better)... his old stable is about 15 minutes drive from my house. I cried for them, but sadly the race goes on...
Hi Chip, these are my azalea bushes by the front door! They start blooming in late April every year, and they are very pretty!
I’ve been very busy lately, but I’m hoping to log in more often from now on… I’m somewhat slow doing things, so I guess that’s the problem!!! Life can be hard sometimes)-:
I’m going to see LIVE again on 5/11 in Jim Thorpe, PA, so that’s something to look forward to...
how you doing ,just passing around my music to the good people of the world trying to get things rolling,hence my freind request.Just to wish you well . thanks Sean.good luck to you.
Pretty Blue Jay... I used to see lots of Steller's Jays in northern California, but I can't remember if I saw Blue Jays there. They look very similar and blue!
