R.I.P. Dennis Dragon - one of the last touring Byrds drummers

From our contributor David E.:

R.I.P. Dennis Dragon, latter-day Byrds road drummer and younger brother of Tennille's "Captain" Daryl Dragon. 

I saw Dennis play with the Byrds in Charleston, SC in either '72 or '73 - I forget the year. 

And yes, Dennis really looked like this - even on the Byrds tour. 

He was also in the touring Beach Boys band around this time. 

Terrific drummer, too! 

Later led the tongue-in-cheek but quite fun "Surf Punks". 

Many thanks to David.
