Music in the 5th Decade

How I spent my summer vacation

  1. Drumming in New Orleans. Always a blast. I learned the importance of supporting the band by staying out of the way. 
  2. Hooking up with drummer Lowell Whitty. He prepared me for NOLA. Now he's working on my inner funk. And, playing in a thoroughly modern style. Bring on QuestLove. 
  3. Recording with my all my buddies. When I listen to the session recordings I'm reminded how lucky I am.
  4. Travelling with my lovely wife Heather. Louisiana and then 2 weeks at the cottage. Throw in her high school reunion for fun. It was fun, really. Oh, and a quick trip to Jasper and Banff. 
  5. Big band camp was cancelled, the owner ran off with somewhere north of 250K. WTF! Thirty five years he runs it, then folds it 2 weeks for the start date and declares, "no refunds, money is gone".
  6. Practicing piano, I did miss playing piano. It's time to balance out the practice schedules: 2/3 drums, 1/3 piano. I've engaged two piano coaches: one classical the other jazz.  It will be a good year. 

best
