. I've been a drummer or always wanted to be a drummer for as long as I can remember. The first delima I ever faced as a kid was trying to figure out which member of KISS I wanted to be. Ace was my favorite, and Gene did the cool stuff, but I wanted to play the drums. It was a very confusing time for a ten year old. Then I heard this music and a voice I had never heard before. The drummer was awesome! Janis Joplin! As it turned out the band I thought was Janis Joplin was Led Zeppelin. Don't ask me why I thought that, I was ten, give me a break. I broke a lot of pencils pretending they were drum sticks, I could play a kitchen table like no one else. When I got my big shot and tried out to be a drummer in the junior high band, I got beat out by a girl. Back then as far as I knew girls still had coodies, I had no idea that they could play the drums. But life goes on. I did get the opportunity to play in some really good, some really bad, and some ok bands in my time. None of them ever made much of a buzz though. I still keep in touch with my best friends and old band mates even though I don't get to see them often. How we ever survived without getting killed or going to prison I'll never know. We did some stupid shit! Now I'm married with two awesome kids, and I'm living up in God's country. I have a job that keeps me from being a musician but it pays the bills.
