Drum Solo

Sitting down on my stool, I comfort myself. I move in and snug the snare reaching for the sticks I glare the drums. Silent and still no sound to be heard, I think for a moment then begin a pattern that's fluid and familiar but completely unknown. I've entered a realm that I cannot explain. It's as if my arms and legs are moving as they see fit to do and where they see fit to go. The rhythms are known but are randomly flowing from my thoughts as quickly as I can maneuver, no time to count, no time to think, just improvise. I roll off the snare and across a tom and crash a cymbal simultaneously thumping the bass. A volley of syncopation, rudimentary and smooth, as I roar to a decrescendo that's as still as a morning dew. I begin again off the hats, switching back and forth from left to right, rolling the bass in an accepted flux and head to a crescendo of cymbal clashing collage. The room continues to reverberate short and sustained as I slide the sticks back into their home until their awakened again to join in another union of fury and flare.

Amazed and Inspired

I am amazed!

Surfing around blogs today, and other days since starting my blogs in august, I found that depth, ingenuity, art, creativity, and most of all morality abound in this universe that's called the blogosphere. This to me is utterly amazing and inspiring. When I stumbled upon Blogger it was with the intent to express myself, I've only just begun. I've been an artistic person all my life, playing guitar, drums, etc. all of which are self taught. So to discover this huge community of people who share the same interests in art and crafting as I do, again, is awesome and awe inspiring. I thank Blogger for providing this service and you the people of the blogosphere for your commitment and inspiration to me.

Happy Labor Day!

I want to send a shout out to all those who labor in anyway shape or form.
Labor is apart of us all, so to me this is a day to honor everyone!
God bless you all and thank you for your efforts.

Also, I'd like to send a shout out to Jerry Lewis and the MDA telethon,
the other momentous occation on this day.
God Bless You!
