Lynn Easton was the drummer on Louie Louie. Peterson could never in his dreams be as good a drummer as Easton was, and as far as I know, still is. Dick Peterson's book talks much about a subject of which he has no actual first hand knowledge. He just simply wasn't there, period. For one thing, the recording cost $50.00, not a lesser amount which he has been referred to. For another....oh well it really doesn't matter. The other thing that the other writer got wrong is that we were a band from Portland, Oregon.
