Woodstick is a thousand drummers in a fieldhouse pounding out beats, rhythms and all kinds of noise at the same time. Now it could be more than noise, but while all those drummers are preping for the same song, they are tuning up and showing off their "sticking". Most impressive are the young uns...man oh man can they beat it. No inhabition. They just rock it out.
As for me, I was quite thrilled to get my snare drum head changed and tuned. After the Log Lady took it out on "my babes", I figured I needed some TLC for my workhorse. Now it shines and sounds soooo sweet.
I will be giving it a ride tonight.
Next year...Woodstock with a full drum kit. Wooo Hoo!

Thrash is Trashed
Now that is a headline. Band news! Bass guitar player, Thrash, was hit by a red Toyota 4 x 4 pick up on Wednesday after leaving band practice. With music still humming in his ears, Thrash got trashed and then the guy took off (as in Hit and Run). Thrash was the lucky guy this time, as his sweet Fender bass survived the trashing. But his car suffered $2,000 worth of damage. Thrash is OK....luckily.... cuz we all need to "Play On".
Lefty almost Lost his Left
I don't know what it is about Lefty, but that guy has a way of sticking his digits into places they should not be stuck. This time we are talking about his LEFT BIG TOE (not his right). At practice on Wednesday night, he announced that it was lucky that he showed up to play. He was sitting on a chair with his toe stuck in a place where it should not be stuck when the chair starts to tip over. Instead of completely tearing his toe off, he just ripped all the tendons attaching his big left peditarsal. Apparently, some blood was involved...disgusting. He showed up at band practice with a limp...but that is Lefty...Lucky!
