Master!!!

Ok, we all know what it takes to become a great musician, right? Dedication, practice, and of course some talent never hurt anyone. My question is what does it take to master an instrument that no one cares about? There are people out there who take up the Banjo, Bagpipes, or Bassoon. Why? I am obviousely a drummer, by no means does that mean I've mastered the drums. I like to many other things, so my focus has never been completely on my music. I do however know many people who have mastered their instuments. Like Rhett Butler, Phil McNeese, and Martin McCall. These guys are masters of their craft. They have dedicated literaly years of their lives to honing their skills.

But when you are becoming a great guitar, bass, or drum player there are immediate payoffs. You instantly become more attractive to the opposite sex. You enter into the fraternity of musicians and feel instantly like you have more friends. There are none of these benefits to mastering the Ukulele, but this guy did it anyway. Check him out.

OK, I admit it... I'm a slacker!

For those of you who religousely read this sad excuse for a blog... Last month was a big week for me! Oh, no I didn't make a mistake there, because last month didn't feel like a month, it felt like a week.

How? you ask? Well, let's start off. On Memorial Day I met a woman, two days later our children met for the first time, and then a week after our first meeting we decided to get married!


Ok, I know what you're thinking, "Gee, that's really fast to make that decision!" Well, you don't know the half of it! We decided to forget the long engagement, and opted to be married on June 17th. So I've now been married for a couple of weeks, and my wife and I have moved into a new place where the six (again not a typo) children that we now have are free to roam.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. I started a new job as well. Ok, so it's more like a new career, in a totally different industry, but none the less Life is GOOD!
