" Shoot, I forgot what I was going to say".

Hey Bish, welcome to my world. My GF is amazed that I can remember what she wore on that 1st (blind) date, how she sat in my car, the look on her...

Thanks Tom, the thought is deeply appreciated.

The years go by so fast. I remember August 15th 1965. It was just about 3 months before I went in to the service and we were having dinner. My...

Everyday Olimpass, everyday.

Remember what tomorrow means. It's my 53rd Memorial Day and as each 1 passes it brings out more emotion than the last 1.

Come September 1st, I will have been home for 54 years (actually I...

At the beginning I spent too much time talking (writing) about 3 other drummers "Master Class".

Skip to about 7 minutes and avoid that and at the end...

Did they win????????????

Why wouldn't it be??????????

Outside of my 3 girls out on the coast, I don't have any relatives in North Carolina.

"I just beat on the cave ladies' head with my club".

I did like that idea but seems I lost it when I left Jersey. Must be something in the air in North Carolina.

Yeah Rick, that too.

My 1st set was a log and 2 leg bones (I didn't ask where they came from) I didn't get too many ladies but did draw more than a few animals that appeared to want to...

Rick, that's a great idea, the downside is that when I started with my plywood T, crates were all made out of wood. I had to wait for the Bronze Age to get cymbals!!!!!

I had a piece of 1/4" plywood cut into the shape of a T that the BD sat on with holes for the spurs WITH the rubber tips on them. The plywood ran back so my stool could sit on it. That sat on a...

Just in case nobody noticed it, Spring arrived March 20th, not the middle of April.

I will give you this, it was a lot closer to the actual time of the arrival of Spring than calling it in...

Before 1 buys weighted sticks why not cut some strips of duct tape and put them where you think you might like the extra weight to be.

As for the Tune Bot and/or drum dial, they might be good to...

Slinky, there might be some old Super 8 stuff down in south Jersey but I have no idea who might have it.

"Yeah, unless the other band members are jerks".

The odds of that happening are slim to probably.

Should be!!!

"I'm not happy about this and it's a definitely been a long-term pattern".

That sentence told me all I needed to know. Move on!!!

I don't think so but a 13x9 probably would and a 14x10 would probably be better.

A big hit back in the day. Had to be early '60's.

Jackie!! They are themselves nice, solid, (read that heavy) drums. The Pearl tom mounts SUCK. As for the sound difference: There is a sound difference if 1 wants there to be just because they are...

Food for thought there Bish, food for thought.

That's 1 of those questions that I will ponder for, no, wait, pondering done.

Actually I was going to paint the Mona Lisa but someone beat me to it, so I then started on the Last Supper only...
