Ringo's drumming influence
I was 10 years old when Ringo officially became a Beatle and it seems like I've listen to his music all my life. I especially like the drum break on Sgt Pepper's and it's one of the 1st drum beats I learn to play on the drums along with the Dave Clark Five and Led Zepplin drum beats......thanks Ringo.
I used a kitchen chair and a couple of wooden spoons until I got some old drum sticks with tape on them. For another drum I used an upside down garbage pail from one of the bedrooms. It eventually split on the bottom and the chair split too so it had lots of tape on it. My mother wasn't too happy with her ruined kitchen chair and all the noise so I ended up out in the garage in the summer.!!

Robert Frost poem Voice Ways
Current mood:
pensive
Is there a connection between poems and songwriting ? between art and music? Do we need "art"? If so where do I fit in? Am I writing songs that very few will hear or enjoy? Am I wasting my precious time? There are moments that I do enjoy when I'm creating and I sometimes marvel at what comes of my"art" but it also doesn't pay much right now.........I'm hoping to achieve complete "musical freedom" someday but up till now I've been chasing commercial success or the "hit" song......anyways I can 't seem to find any fiction books that I like to read , so I go to poetry in hopes of elevation , insight and something "new".
Robert Frost says in this poem "Voice Ways", "Some things are never clear..."
