Pick Withers at Drummers World in the late 1980s
Whenever Dire Straits was in town, Pick Withers would always come by and hang out. The band got bigger and bigger and Pick, being very disciplined, would practice hours in our studio. He has always been very reserved and humble. He would talk about, before they became popular, The Police being the opening act for Dire Straits. We developed a lasting friendship. This photo taken in the late 1980s is of his attempt at playing the berimbau in our shop.
