It took a little bit of getting used to but now, when he's not there, I miss him. Having said that, here's my 20 year old drummer boy at our gig last night showing just WHAT IS wrong with drummers :D Showing off his new tatts, wearing jeans that defied gravity all night and managed to stay up, throwing his head back and just going off. Sometimes he makes me feel quite young and other times, like the way I feel this morning, he makes me feel quite old. http://api.ning.com/files/n4mTLYoOH-MqzC1uENwjDbwTmPmFwc8kTSuFL1rE1... | ||

Don't laugh, but right now his job is working as a pizza delivery guy. :eek: {I suppose I ought to mention he's doing that just to kill time ... he was a missile defense expert working for the Pentagon and NATO and was recently picked up by the FBI to be an agent and is just waiting for the next academy to start}. Mark ... there's hope. Women have an uncanny ability to spot and develop talents otherwise hidden to their fathers. | ||

Other than keeping a simple beat on the snare & hi-hat, I can't play at all. Of course, I can't really play guitar either... | ||

Joined: April 2006 Posts: 1017 Location: Budd Lake, NJ | My daughter married a drummer, too--but we were unaware of his musical proclivities when we were introduced to him. Seven years after their marriage, he and his brother own (profitably) their own auto repair business, he and Julie own their own home, have a driveway full of cars, trucks and horse trailers, three adorable children (to whom he is a wonderful, hands-on dad) and with all that's going on, his drumset is currently up in the attic at the top of their storage garage. I'm hoping that of the three lil' folks, two will play guitar like me, and one will bang on drums like their dad--instant band. :D --Karen | ||
