    Default From Polkas... to Wipeout....

    So last night the little lady and I went out to watch my dad's Polka band playing in town. Of course he throws me up on stage to play a couple of songs here or there. Well... tonight some guys in the crowd did the FreeBird of drum songs.... he yells "WIPEOUT"

    So my dad calls me up on stage and well... here's some wipeout for you!

    See I don't always need my big kits! here's a 1 tom kit!

    Awesome, LOL.
    Was there anything left of the poor drummer’s sticks when you got done?

    Looks like you were playing with tree branches.
    Those were some long long sticks!

    You should hear when my dad wants to play Green Day "Basket Case" on his accordion.
    He LOVES playing that song with me on drums. He always announces the only band ever to play it on accordion.

    Believe it or not, I played accordion for about 6 months when I was about 9. Got to where I could play "Beautiful Dreamer" on the small 1 they start you out with.

    $0.50 for a 1 hour lesson.

    That was great, nice job. I always just assumed I could play that whole song because I can do the main lick but I recently learned the hard way to do the entire song takes some stamina and the lack thereof on my part starts to show about the 3rd go round : )... Back to the pad for some endurance exercises.

    Decide whether this is love for the craft or simply an ego thing

    There’s a local 3pc Polka band around here (or used to be) that plays nothing but classic, alternative and metal Rock songs. Three younger guys; accordion, tuba and drums. They’re pretty good and always draw a crowd. I’m always impressed with the tuba player. Just thinking about how much air he pushes through that thing during one song makes my lungs hurt, LOL.
    Eastern Nebraska has a huge population of Czech, German and Polish ancestry. 90% of the population’s last names end in “cek”.....or have 4 letters with no vowels, LOL.

    (Heck I even grew up with a bunch of Zweifels.....now there’s a strange name )

    My Great grandparents on my mother's side were from Lincoln, Nebraska. My Grandmother was one of 10 kids from a farm. They were Czech, they were immigrants. My Grandma, I think, was the only one out of the lot who moved to Southern California.

    I always wondered why once California was discovered, people even wanted to settle in all those other places.

    Maybe something about all the taxes.

    New poll here in the bay area says about 46% of the folks living here want to leave California all together.

    People living out of their cars and Winnebago's make for a not so great lifestyle.
