chatting w my kid the drummer and shared this-

have a good friend who is an amazing drummer, but who also owns a djembe that is the equivalent of a strad. i played this shit out of the album this comes from, and always swore my friend could play the whole drum line on that thing.
almost choked when i finally saw the vid, and how many drums it took.

fun fact- this was on an aids benefit disc called red, hot and blue. covers of cole porter songs.
i wore the disc out driving from chi to iowa in '08.
lots of good cuts and some great vids. google it.

hey, who remembers that little girl who was having drum offs w some rock star?

yeah, vague, sorry. i sorta knew the guy/band but it wasnt someone i listen to. so i am drawing a blank. i'll say doh when someone knows.
she was an adorable little african american girl, no more than 10 ircc.
tried to search through the lounge, but no luck.

i wanted to send the vid to my son the 30 yo drummer to give him something to strive for.
jk. just thought he's get a kick out of her, and i know he knows who the guy is.

anyone?

found this touching tribute to john prine.

when he was taken to the hospital last april, his neighbors got together to sing his songs, and wish him get well.
sadly, he died the next days.
this is worth the half hour.

which politicians should we send to space?

nicole and neil degrass tyson about shatner's trip.
he wants to see all kinds of people make the trip, artists, poets, musicians, teacher. people who can share the transformative experience.
then he says- send the politicians first. they'll come back holding hands.
so, who should we send?

Biden's Policies Impact Millions Of Americans Who Don't Know It- last word

great thoughts on messaging for dem here. about half way through.
"dont take your policy out it public, it's unseemly"
"stop selling the recipe, start selling the brownie."
dont say- we got you a child tax credit. say-we helped you work and feel secure about your child.
good stuff.
