Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms,
Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Well, I can't top Shakespeare or anything. I could have sung Free to be You and Me again! ha ha!

No, seriously, my sister is the bomb! I mean that! I'm not joking now. She's badass. Don't fuck with her!

about me
Shall I compare me to a summer's day?
I art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of me,
And summer's me hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the me of heaven shines,
And often is my gold complexion dimm'd;
And every me from me sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But my eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that me I owest;
Nor shall Death brag I wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time I growest:
So long as men can me or me can me,
So long lives me and me me me me me.

Re: Anyone get a new 09 Souhail drum (in Fans of Souhail Kaspar) That's his e-mail, with an underscore between first and last name. Maybe that's why it's bouncing back?

Re: Issam Houshan signeture Riqq (in Middle Eastern Percussion) And to clarify, none of this was directed at Faisal (who happened to post while I was writing my last response). I know how much effort goes into getting a signature instrument made. It takes a lot of overseas travel and overseeing of the projec... read more

Re: Issam Houshan signeture Riqq (in Middle Eastern Percussion) Ted, enough with the aggressive marketing already. We're here to discuss the art of performing, selecting and maintaining our instruments. Yes, we appreciate a good lead on where to get quality drums, but that's not an open invitation for you to... read more

My Blog

I'm excited to announce my third Big Spring Hafla in the Greater Phoenix area.

I'm so excited to have these masters, and some amazing local talent in the show. The hafla will be half show, half dance party for everybody to live music!

This is my favorite time to catch up wit... read more

Great news! Souhail will be back in the Phoenix area with percussion workshops and a feature performance in mid-October. It has been five long months since he has graced the valley with his presence, and we are excited to have him back. I am also thrilled to announce the grand opening celebration of Plaza de Anaya World Fusion Studio in Tempe, Arizona, where Souhail will be featured. Many of you know the studio through its past incarnations as Domba and the Mystic Jewell. Now my good fri... read more

<<knock, knock>> Hey, guys, how’s it going? I just stopped by to check out this thread…. Holy shit, what’s going on? It’s mayhem in here! Halil just karate chopped some guy in the throat, Kevin is swinging his gigantic darbuka with wild, skull-crushing abandon, Jeffrey is poking someone in the eyes with his huge, manly digits and Todd is doing a schizophrenic dance around them. Someone just overturned a table and now beer mugs and half-eaten turkey legs are sliding everywhere. There’s... read more

In lieu of me and Mary's 4th Annual Birthday Bash, we'll be partying down with some of our favorite musicians at a picturesque home in Goodyear. Same place, one weekend later. We won't turn down presents.

There will be food, goodies to buy from Anaya Tribal and Fashionable Movement, and lots of rocking live music to dance to. Featuring Moroccan music-maker Rachid Halihal on oud, violin and vocals (his enchanting voice being his best instrument, IMHO) and a kickass primal percussion secti... read more
