I look at posts here that reflect other hobbies among us drummers.
Many (like Rick and Spaz) love cars; others like sports, movies, or maybe video games.
All of us like food, and some like to prepare it too.
Someday, Bish will find his dream to open the first national Drum Pawn Shop Recording Studios --- he can buy one of those failing Sears locations.
I used to play a lot of golf.
I took up golf in college because I wanted to have one thing in common with my Dad.............he had a heart attack (his first one) when he was 48.............I was in graduate school at the time and (of course) playing in a band -- in fact, the late night telephone call I received that informed me my Dad was in the hospital and might not make it out, was at 3AM when I got home from playing a gig.
He worked all the time at a job I never would have wanted -- I went to college and played drums at night -- two things he never did.
I think his job/career was the main reason he died at age 59............but I got 11 years of golf and fun with him before his departure in 1988.
So I took up golf for him and I discovered I really liked it..............here we are years later and I played religiously until two years ago.
I decided I just did not have time for family, work, my band, and golf.
From those four, I assigned golf the lowest priority and quit...........I now stay completely busy with the other three.
Although I enjoy the game, I never was really good at golf --- my lowest handicap ever is an 8 --- and that lasted one season around 2006.
I can resume golf when I quit one of the other three...........hopefully that will be work.
