Who's playing the drums in your shop?

Hey Sally,

I thought this was thought-provoking from Seth Godin's blog today:
"Keith Richards tells a great story about Charlie Watts, legendary drummer for the Stones. After a night of drinking, Mick saw Charlie asleep and yelled, "Is that my drummer? Why don't you get your arse down here?" Richards continues, "Charlie got dressed in a Savile Row suit, tie, shoes, shaved, came down, grabbed him and went boom! Don't ever call me "your drummer" again. You're my ... singer."
No drums, no Stones. Who's playing the drums in your shop?"
It's kind of like saying, 'who's got your back?' and never forget how important that person is to you or to your organization.
