What Did You Do Today?
bjrogg:
That's great Russell. It'll be even more fun when you get a bigger collection of stuff. Of course it'll be more to haul around. You don't have to be a expert though. Usually I keep it fairly simple. Once in awhile though use the old, "If you can't dazzle em with brilliance, baffle em with Bull Sh17" just kidding. It is nice to have a interested crowd.

My schedule is starting to get a bit busy. I have another presentation tomorrow. Don't mind the presentation, but the packing everything up and unloading it twice everytime gets old.
PEARL DRUMS:
BJ, that's one of the biggest reasons I left the band. Got tired of unloading and loading a trailer full of equipment. I miss the camaraderie though. Nothing better than friends making music together, its a great feeling when its just right.

I hear you Pearl. I have several cousins that play instruments. They have all been in bands in the past and done the packing and unpacking bit. Now they play together and just have all their stuff set up at my Aunts big shed. It's out in the country without a neighbor closer than a mile. A lot of good times there and now the next generation is going to be even better than this one. They could easily get paying jobs but like you said. They like the playing together and don't feel the hassle is worth it. I guess when you make it big somebody else does all that.

PS honestly some of my favorite times are with the acoustic guitar and a five gallon bucket for a drum around the campfire.

Good for you for doing the presentation, Russell and good for your teacher for seeing the value in it and not seeing it as a threat. Archery used to be part of the daily activities in schools teaching patience, concentration, hand/eye coordination, and respect.
