A quiet week ahead with 4 scheduled events. 

1. I'm filling in for a missing drummer in a blues band in Hamilton. This will be fun. Tuned up the drums for rock, and ready to roll.
2.Jam with Tim and Rory on Tim's lovely piano
3. Drum class with Lowell 
4. Another mix session with Fade/Dissolve Cinematic Noise Trio on the weekend. 
5. Lots of practice. I feel a great desire to continue to step up my game. Not too many days left on the clock. Procrastination is not an option at age 60.

New software this week installed. I used band in the box years ago. It will be a great addition to my studio again. Hands down more musical than the iReal Pro app. 

Wednesday: Big band drum audition
Thursday: Piano trio jam with Tim and Rory, I'm on piano.
Friday: Drum lesson day and a consult and celebration/commiseration as the case may be with Terry Clarke. 

As always, practice, practice, practice.
