Martin Steitle
Martin Steitle, long-time drummer for Johnny Bush, has passed away. Martin was a solid rock of a drummer, and a good guy who would do anything for you. Please keep his family in your prayers.

I just heard from Scott Moon this morning about Martin's passing. Solid drummer that I played with for years, and was always a very happy-go-lucky guy. His last years were unhappy ones, I hope he's in a better place.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

This one hurts....I hired Martin in July 1983 right off the Johnny Buch stage in Humble {Cat Ballews} and took him to Cozumel to finish out the season , then back to Cozumel for the 83-84 tourist season , Dec 15 to Sep 15 and then he went with me to Singapore for a 6 month gig , where they made him cut his hair . No hippie image allowed in their country .
Martin was the best guy all around , the easiest to get along with , never a minutes trouble out of him , and believe me , he enjoyed the Beach Bunnies , since he was buff and had the long hair.....the locals called him Tarsan , their pronunciation of Tarzan .
Last time I saw him was Dec 8 , 2001 at Denny's in SA and he told us about Quihi and Billy Mata...I'm shocked and devastated at the loss of a great guy .
What was his cause of death and why were the last years unhappy ? So sad to read this .
