Incredible musician..I sang with Ron on drums and Leonard Petrucelli on guitar at Petrucelli’s in El Cajon, Ca. in the 60’s in El Cajon, Ca.
An experience that I will never forget!

greatest drummer of his time

Many days I sang that song on the way to school.

Rest in peace Ron, thanks for the music

He was an extra ordinary drummer, always true to his own style. He was handsome, and a fun loving gentleman. I met the band in Seattle, when they played at Eagles Auditorium. After the concert, we all went to
Fairmont Olympic Hotel, had a few drinks, played a little music. Ron gave me his drum stick after the show,
I still have them and will always cherish them .
