Looked you band up and your name came up Robbie Blackmore. No relation to Ritchie is there?
Hope that's not prying to much, I mean about posting your last name.
No worries, bro.
I met Ritchie a ways back...we both raised a pint in honor of the same last name....no close relation. -

Sweet axe Kajun. My Mama (RIP) used to play the squeeze box. Daddy never.... (oh you know).
Nutha Drumma here. 5 piece Premiere converted to vdrums. Using Roland TD-3 brain. Still have acoustic cymbals and just picked up a sweet sounding 17" Zildjain medium crash yesterday...
Robbie has me beat, I've only been playing for 30 years. 
And if you search for any of the bands I was in you get squat 
No sir, my claim to fame is that Burton Cummings (Guess Who)... (the band...) (not the band called "The Band" but the band called "The Guess Who"), (Damned Canadians and there confusing band names) called me an @$$hole. 
-----------
Ha ha I guess I should've searched the web before saying you'd get squat if you did.

This was my studio effort. The Flaming Aardvarks were a Blues/Rock quartet with a real raw sound. Unfortunately we were better before the recording but our fifth member and best guitarist left shortly before we went into the studio.
