You know better than this. This forum is about sharing information and contributing to the knowledge and enjoyment of music.There are always different versions of the same story, you only have to read different newspapers the day after the event to see that, but there are also proper ways to differ and discuss historical conjecture, which is the case in point.
I will say that sometimes internet searches sometimes throw up many different versions of the same story, so always be careful of googling up info.
My two bits.
Now lets play drums.............
