Stuff I want to share

Check out the video clip on this drummer's web site, he plays a drum kit and a didgeridoo at the same time. I'm really liking didgeridoos lately, very haunting. Besides it doesn't hurt that he's totally cute! I ordered his CD, Primal Elements, a few days ago. Can't wait.

This afternoon when I was helping my 96-year old father out of his wheelchair & into bed, he turned the wrong way to sit down and I had to help him turn so he could sit on the edge of the bed. He started laughing and when I asked him what was so funny he said, "I forgot which way my knees bend." We both laughed so hard we cried.

That does not mean you need not practice or aspire any less. On the contrary, it means you can work at your game even more because you will work at it in a way you enjoy....

"You can gain experience, if you are careful to avoid empty redundancy. Do not fall into the error of the artisan who boasts of 20 years experience in his craft while in fact he has only one year of experience - 20 times."
