THE BONGO GUY

If you're given a pair of bongos, like most people you would bang on them and goof around, doing the parody of beatniks thing or something like that. Rarely does someone just handed a pair of bongos decide that they will become the bongo man. That's what sets Preston Epps apart from me or you. After becoming familiar with conga drums, a women handed him bongos and suggested that he try them, and he never looked back. So it is that when people think of bongos, they think of Epps.

You can't get a lot of hits out of bongos, but that didn't stop Epps from trying, and he did manage a couple before going into studio work. The biggee was "Bongo Rock". One thing's for sure, when you play bongos and the song is yours, you have half the title taken care of.
