I think the baby with the blocks is exactly how my wife sees me! At least she finds it amusing and not a problem so I should be content with that I suppose....
That's pretty funny...my dad played drums in a band when I was a kid, and my brother followed suit. I just always sang (except for that little stint when I was REALLY young and I had to play the clarinet. Right now I have a pink bass to learn to play. One of these days.
And Friday...what the hell? You are totally gonna miss the bacon wrapped piece of heaven I have planned for tomorrow...
My desk is my personal drum set. I use my hands, and in my imagination, I am a god of drumming. To anyone else, though, I just sound like I'm having a seizure.
I love it and so does the Hubby!! Sometimes I feel like I'm nothing more than a time-keeping chimp that sets-up and tears down. That and a maid and a cook....
I went to college with a famous drummer, well he was a session drummer so he worked with all these famous bands. He said the worst thing was watching the equipment because its really expensive and stuff gets stolen all the time. I wish i had some musical talent, but after spending most of my teenage years trying to learn and failing to play the guitar i have accepted im rubbish.I like that collage of images it did make me smile.
I'd say it's good to be the drummer too. Except that usually, they seem to be the first guys in the rock band to die! All that pressure of knowing that if the rest of the band are out of time, they'll say YOU were the one out og time. Eedjits! Everybody knows you keep time with the drummer!
I'm a guitar player and proud of it!
ReplyDelete..and you should be Alex.
DeleteQ: What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians hoping to get a shag?
ReplyDeleteA: A drummer
Q: What's the difference between a drummer and a drum-machine?
A: You only have to beat the tune into the drum-machine once
That's perfect Tamisin!! I married my guitar player just so I could get shagged on a regular basis.
DeleteI play no instrument, but I enjoy military fife and drum bands immensely!
ReplyDeleteThere's only one instrument I like playin' with........

Isn't a drummer some sort of con-man salesman ?

ReplyDeleteI love it and so does the Hubby!! Sometimes I feel like I'm nothing more than a time-keeping chimp that sets-up and tears down. That and a maid and a cook....
ReplyDeleteI love air drumming along to songs! and I'm working on a character who is a drummer, in one of my short stories - thanks for the research material!!
ReplyDeleteexactly! I always knew my talents amounted to nothing more than monkey business.

ReplyDeleteGreat picture! Very amusing! I've never been in a band but from what I've heard thats quite spot on!!
ReplyDeleteps how does the keyboardist see the drummer?!
drummers get no respect. a good one goes unnoticed and a bad one ruins a band

Great post Fran - so freakin' true (from what I remember from my dim distant past)
ReplyDeleteQ: How can you tell if the stage is level?
A: The drool comes over the drummer's bottom lip rather than the corner of his mouth!
