...and now for the exciting conclusion to 'audition'.
Yes, the band brought me on. I don't have a start date but it should be a good time.
Wednesday evening I headed down to the Redstone Room to see Louie Bellson. For those of you who don't know Louie, he's a groundbreaking drummer. Back in the 30's he invented the concept of a double bass kit. He played it with the jazz bands of the day and I'm sure he would never have imagined the sport double bass playing could become 70 year later.
It was awesome to see him but at 84 he's lost a bit of what he used to have. The guy could still swing like crazy and even took a solo, but with all due respect, not what he once was. I can only hope that at 84 I'm still rocking out on the drums.
Speaking of rocking, I finally snapped a few pics of my kit. At Ardor rehearsal we had a long conversation about where we should head as a band. While I have a strong opinion and vision, I don't think others are with me. Should be interesting to see how things play out.
Work was crazy again this week and will be so again next week. I found out my boss was moving on but a replacement has not been announced.
