"I dig this band, they have unique, cool, vibe enough for all. I also find the Wikipedia definition of what the Glim Dropper Scam is... Read on dear listeners.., read on..." - Lee
From
Wikipedia: “The glim-dropper scam requires several accomplices, one of whom must be
a one-eyed man. One grifter goes into a store and pretends he has lost
his glass eye. Everyone looks around, but the eye cannot be found. He
declares that he will pay a thousand-dollar reward for the return of his
eye, leaving contact information. The next day, an accomplice enters
the store and pretends to find the eye. The storekeeper (the intended
griftee), thinking of the reward, offers to take it and return it to its
owner. The finder insists he will return it himself, and demands the
owner’s address. Thinking he will lose all chance of the reward, the
storekeeper offers a hundred dollars for the eye. The finder bargains
him up to $250, and departs. The one-eyed man, of course, cannot be
found and does not return.”
Glim Dropper -
the band - is a Philadelphia based original rock trio that formed in
late 2008. Comprised of Dan Kauffman (Vocals and Bass), Ben Geise
(Guitar), and Rob Schnell (Drums), the trio’s sound ranges from reggae
and funk to heavier rock. The group, originally known as the Dan
Kauffman Band, was assembled by Dan to perform his first independent
release “A Human Condition”. As the band began to collaborate on song
writing, it was decided to rename the band Glim Dropper.
Dan Kauffman is an accomplished singer, songwriter, bassist, drummer,
and guitarist. Having written all the tracks on “A Human Condition” Dan
is the creative center of the band. Dan’s skills have been praised by
many including Charles Barkley who acknowledges Dan as his “brother from
another mother.”
Rob Schnell brings an experienced hand to the trio having performed with
Spencer Davis and Bo Diddley as well as recording and touring with
Tracy Grammer. Other than their collaboration on the material for “A
Human Condition” Dan and Rob have performed together in various
ensembles since 2005.
Guitarist Ben Geise is the newest member of Glim Dropper. While studying
Jazz at the University of Pittsburgh Ben performed with Benny Golson,
Curtis Fuller, and played with various jazz ensembles.
Glim Dropper wishes to promote federal, state, local, and personal responsibility, through sincerity and syncopation. (information provided via Glim Droppers webpage)
