	Drummerworld: Alan White
		It's one of the great ironies in Alan White's career that he came to fame in the shadow of the drummer he replaced in Yes, Bill Bruford.
		In a way it was neither musician's fault — Bruford was considered, after Carl Palmer, the hottest drummer in England, while White had, in the public's perception, played in a few highly visible bands and gigs without a lot of acclaim.
		No more fitting tribute to Alan White's abilities exists than that paid him by Bill Bruford, who applauds the sheer power of White's playing and the fact that he has retained his inventiveness over any number of extended arena-to-arena tours.

	Official Ticketmaster site. Canned Heat tickets, concerts and tour dates
		A hard-luck blues band of the '60s, Canned Heat was founded by blues historians and record collectors Alan Wilson and Bob Hite.
		Wilson was an extraordinary harmonica player, with a fat tone and great vibrato.
		After two big chart hits with "Goin' Up the Country" and an explosive version of Wilbert Harrison's "Let's Work Together," Wilson died under mysterious (probably drug-related) circumstances in 1970, and Hite carried on with various reconstituted versions of the band until his death just before a show in 1981, from a heart seizure.
