Well, my ears are ringing and my arms are bloody sore - i've just come home from playing percussion for a grand total of eleven hours. Wanna know how tired I am? It took me six attempts to properly type that sentence (and another five to type this one).

Tell me more! I think of all the things in my life now--as good as it is--what I do miss is playing with the guys. We jam occasionally, but rarely now--my own life has just taken a different turn and those days are over. I miss it though. Hunger for it, drive Lee insane because I have a habit of tapping pencils--there are pencils everywhere and sometimes Hey Dog finds them and leaves them. Not good for dogs. Better to leave drumsticks all over I guess, or carry them with me, which I often do, but they are too big and then I end up losing one.
What you need is a long, slow, heated massage to take away those aches...
I'm going to type up an LJ entry about it soon - probably later tonight after I come back from practise. I mainly play djembe but I can also play bongos, congas, tabla and bass drum. One of these days i'll get around to learning to play with sticks!
One of our patrons at the restaurant just told me about a local group that is all drums--different kinds--I'm going to ask Daniel if he'd like to have a visit to one of their sessions with me. It sounds like a great deal of fun.
Come to my place and we'll have a jam session, dude! I'm serious - bring Daniel and everyone else along as well. It'll be fun! Circle drumming is an exhilarating experience.

People may talk or something. *blush*
How are you doing, funky gibbon? We've never really chatted before.
