For anyone wanting to check out some great classic rock this weekend in Calgary come down to Denim Lounge and check out Stash. I’ll be sitting in with the band on drums Saturday night making loud noises!

The setlist includes hits moving from The Rolling Stones, ZZ-Top, The Beatles and Lynyrd Skynyrd all the way up to Van Halen, Jet and The Black Crowes.

Come down for a pint and a plate of wings and a whole bunch of classic rock!!

Sometimes when you’re window shopping or cruising the net, you’ll see an ad or an article of clothing in a window that reminds you – “hey – I like that look, that’s me” or “oh yeah – that’s totally something that I do/see/feel/am.” For me it’s not so much clothing or knick-knacks – it’s drums.

Cruising the net this morning I came across the drumset featured at the top of this post. It reminded me that I do have a love for music and my contribution is usually laying down the back-beat. I’ve played drums for 20 years and still play. It made me think, wow, it’s time for me to either clean-up/tune/dust-off my old Yamaha kit, or…(drools) look at buying/leasing the new All Maple Gretsch Rock Kit.

Sometimes all we need is a subtle reminder that what we are and/or who we are is connected to a person, place or thing. Today, for me, it’s a series of 9 ply sugar maple hoops that make loud noises.
