Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I feel for you. My father used to say that he felt like he was dying off one piece at a time and I've come to understand what he meant.

Back from monthly eye penetration this morning.

Having Drums Along The Rockies here was pretty cool, especially if you could find out where other corps were practicing.
My kid is a sax player so he was not in the running for one of those groups. As a result, I've never followed them much. Just always thought it was kind of cool that some of the kids I knew from his high school days were good enough to be a part of those groups. I'd watch videos that he'd share with me, but could not tell you much about it. They are sure a good watch!

I hope all the instruments play with the beat. Otherwise you'd have a genuine cacophony.

PS, you don't need the vibes, marimba or bells to have a band. You do need a bass drum, snare, triangle, and, of course, more cowbell.
