The ribs have lightened up a little. I can see daylight. lol 21 drums may have their own opinions.

airinf it out

About to tour. The high point will always be airing the sound out. The instruments have to breath. I have music critics waiting for the work. I mean what the hell does the music have to do with them ? You set up set list for your sound or do u do it for Billboard magazine? thus the question LOL. We play for the masses.. Folks who walk it inside it's veins. I'm still a badboy I cannot do the formula thing. We're going to air it out.

The zen of tolerance

With all the saturated manufactured crap coming through as music, I like so many others seem to be suffering from being extremely jaded with fluff. I swear I cannot tell one so-called R&B SONG OR ARTIST (term used loosely) from another illusion.

The trend of shows that cry of ME ME ME ME ME. I'm learning that my four decades of zen
is put to the test. Stay in the moment even if not of the moment. Damn u Napster. LOL

Resting the body

By nature I'm very action orientated. My mind is always ticking and my body struggles to keep in sync. Most of my activities growing up required exceptional conditioning. Karate teams, Marine Corps etc. Musically I'm a drummer by nature. A converted Bassist, pianist blah blah blah. Having cracked ribs as I seem to be experiencing leaves me in a state of conflict with what I want to do. Now I must do the rest thing before touring. The zen of stillness LOL.

The rush

It's a constant state of what's next?. My band is always saying I should give myself a break and not work so hard. I have three cracked ribs from the motorcycle mishap and I seem to be working harder than ever. It's the whole "indie" experience. The serfs toil from sun to sun in the fields. When possible u put on your owner"s hat and wonder why the serf is not working harder? LOL.

The Drive

Keeping the drive alive musically with all of the outside things that come with the journey, is hard as hell. Since the indie world is more hands on, I believe that i've come to appreciate my days in the majors. Cyberspace has redirected our energies. Good thing is that I never neglect my playing, just my sleep lol. DH
