Modern
Drummer magazine: Wally Ingram - Back With a Little Help
from His Friends - by Dave Stanoch
What a difference a year can make. In
January 2007, Wally Ingram was finishing up brutal chemotherapy
and radiation treatments, battling for his life against the
Squamous Cell Cancer that had invaded his throat and neck. At
the end of that month, while awaiting the results of his treatment,
he was able to participate in a star-studded benefit concert
in his honor, organized by Uber-producer/drummer Butch Vig and
Bonnie Raitt, that featured Butch's band Garbage, Bonnie, Sheryl
Crow, Jackson Browne, Keb' Mo', Crowded House, George Clinton,
and many others, in Glendale, California.
"It was a powerful night," Wally reflects, "the incentive to
be there and play got me through some really tough days. The
event itself was magical. The outpouring of love from the artists
and the audience was overwhelming. It put wind in my sails to
fight on." In June, Wally learned that he is cancer-free with
a clean bill of health.

- Sheryl Crow @ Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Gorgeous Sheryl Crow opened with the
solo acoustic "God Bless this Mess" and the crowd howled in
delight. Crow worked her audience over, moving straight through
with "Shine Over Babylon," "Love is Free" and "A Change Will
Do You Good," flashing her perfect teeth and shaking her tiny
hips from behind a consuming guitar. crow8
Breaking from the song streak, Crow looked out into the night
and proclaimed, "I love this place. Man, it blows my mind. God
knows how to create some art. She's beautiful." The cowboy and
flip-flops crowd went nuts, and Crow leapt into "Leaving Las
Vegas," weaving props to Crested Butte, Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Springs, Boulder and Denver into the tail-end of the song.
After "Favorite Mistake" and a soft, charming version of the
Cat Stevens classic "The First Cut is the Deepest," Crow began
her expected speech on ever-rising gas prices, solar energy,
and the current situation in Iraq. (I was happy to later learn
that Crow's tour bus runs on bio-diesel, and she is an active-activist,
not just a mouthpiece.) In her most powerful performance of
the evening, Crow modified parts of her own anti-petrol ballad,
"Gasoline" with chants of the Stone's classic "Gimme Shelter,"
back-up vocalists swaying and shouting "War, children, it's
just a shout away."
