The Thill Ain't Gone
In 1945, drummer Jerrie Thill jumped into her '38 Dodge Coupe and drove from Dubuque, Iowa all the way to the coast. Now, Thill is 89 and she plays the Sunday brunch show at El Cid in LA's Silverlake neighborhood. Off-Ramp producer Queena Kim caught a set on one of those record hot days we had this summer.
