WHAT'S NEW,,,?!??

I'm excited, I'm going country and loving it. June 5th, 2010 was my first gig with The Highway Junkies from Dayton, Ohio and we're playing a lot all over Southern Ohio. A rockin 4 piece band doing modern to old school country hits. A great group of guys,,,,,see more at facebook/the highway junkies or http://www.thehighwayjunkies.com/ .

Also...I was recently asked to participate in two events that were just fantastic experiences for me. First I hosted 3 music classes at Bowman Elementary School in Lebanon, Ohio while the kids there were learning the percussion family. I brought in my DW kit and Zildjian cymbals and gave a demonstration on what is a drumset and how a drummer might create a rhythm to fit a piece of music. BIG fun for me. I hosted similar classes 2 years ago there and was honored and excited to be asked back. Hopefully I may have inspired a youngster to play the drums. Later in May I was asked to be a guest speaker at "Career Day" at Donovan Elementary School, again in Lebanon, Ohio to explain the ways a person could make a living as a musician. Again BIG fun for me. I'm hoping to be asked again to participate.
