I was really pleased to find such a good site for the band! My name is Stu Nevitt. For about a year and a half (1978-79) I played percussion & drums with Heartsfield.
It was my first time being on the road. The guys were so great to me. They not only taught me how to survive out there, but I learned so much from the high caliber of their musicianship. I remember a song, I think it was Freddie's "Michigan Home", that Artie was playing piano on, with me on drums. There was a break in the song & when I came back in I always entered just a hair too early. Art told me to think about when I was a kid throwing a baseball in the air. "You have to wait for it to come down". That was the key to me being able to play the part correctly. I later moved to California where my old band, Shadowfax, was reforming. We had a good long career, won a Grammy in 1988, & were nominated again in 1992. I thank Artie, Freddy, Ziggy, Perry, Bassmaster JC & Phil for giving me the tools to be able to do that. It's very cool that Perry is back out!!! Regards to all, Stu Nevitt Stu Nevitt: Grammy Award Winning Drummer/Composer/Percussionist |
