The man of the hour (and maybe the year?). Stephanie Anestis Photography Photos. Jesse “Cheese” Hameen closed his eyes, and turned the clock backwards with the single, balletic wave of his hand. The year was 1950, and Hameen was just a little boy at the Winchester School, hammering a beat out on the side of pots and pans. His hands, which moments before had been suspended in midair, came down on the taut, pearlescent surface of a tom drum.
