Yeah! All that knee slapping and table tapping over the years. Not to mention a few thousand dollars in dance lessons finally paid off. Within just a week of starting out, I’ve got the basic back beat rhythm of most rock songs down. It’s so damn fun!

Forgot to mention how it is that I have a drum kit. My sister dates a musician, the famous trumpeter Maurice Brown (goto www.mauricebrown.net. there you go Mo, some free pub). They thought they had lost everything in the flood and bought all new stuff. They decided to move to NY and couldn’t carry all their other crap that it turns out didn’t get flooded, including, you guessed it, a very nice Yamaha drum kit! yes indeed. What a great life.
