All in all, we had a great week and are looking forward to this one...VERY BUSY!!!!!

Oh! Victor and Angie had to leave because Jean and Jeanie were having a baby! 7 pounds 10 ounces! Sweet...Congratulations to them!

Bring that Beat Back!

Lately, I've really been getting a bit "obssessed" with the drums. I've always loved the drums and being a bass player most of my life made me appreciate them even more. Don't get me wrong! I can hear a crazy lead guitar, thumpin bass solo (any instrument being played skillfully) and be blown away. But to me, there is nothing more impressive than a drummer showing off their versatility. I don't know, i'm just so moved by "groove". Personally, my musical style (no matter what the intrument) is inspired by groove, rhythm, the soul/backbone of the music etc. Lately my visits to youtube have been supplying me with endless amounts of "Drum Videos" and I just can't get enough of it. I'm not a drummer at all (trust me) but I can't help but love that instrument. It's fascinating some of the crap people come up with. While in New York, Amy and I passed by a couple of music stores and I realized that I actually enjoyed playing crappy on an electric drumset more (and longer) than playing skillfully on a gorgeous Les Paul Custom. Hmmm...That Les Paul was pretty bad though... Anyway, so yeah...just thought I should share my current "thing"

-Peace
