Not much happening here. To liven things up, I've posted a picture of 
my kit in action from this weekend's gig. Make all the comments you 
want about the goofy looking drummer, but don't say anything bad 
about my babies.

Who's that lovely drummer behind that goofy looking kit? Seriously 
(sorta), is that a beret I see perched so jauntily on your noggin? 
That is the stamp of authenticity. You are definitely a pro. Thanks 
for providing something cheerful on this dreary day in 
Massachusetts. By the way, what tune were you playing when the 
groupie with the camera caught you for all posterity?

Ed:
Ha! I said no negative comments about the kit!

And, no, it's not a beret; it's a tam worn backward.

And the song we were playing? I think it was either "Knock three 
times on the ceiling if you want me" or 'Tie a yellow ribbon 'round 
the old oak tree". You see, we're a Tony Orlando and Dawn tribute 
band.

Seriously, I think that might have been 'Cold Shot' by SRV.

Ah geez, I was only kidding about your loveliness and the kit's 
goofiness. But I'm genuinely saddened to learn that the headwear is 
a tam, since I was planning to start a "drummers who wear berets 
when they play and when they don't" group in hopes that I wouldn't 
have to feel so weird. By the way, thirty-two years ago (I really 
remember), I was in a good band that did a version of "Knock Three 
Times." I had no idea at the time where the song came from; I 
assumed that it was an original, even though the style was a bit odd 
for the band. But I liked it; now I'm just ashamed.

When I was a teen-ager, I played with a group of 30-40 year olds
top-40 wedding/party band who did that wonderful original "Muskrat
Love."  I was ashamed to play it when I thought it was written by The
Captain and Tenile, but was later a little relieved when I found out
America originally did it, but only slightly relieved.

Wasn't America's version called "Muskrat with No Name"?

Ventura Muskrat.

Funny, Ed, Funny.

Speaking of my affinity for hats and The Captain and Tenille, I'll 
have to post a picture of me from back in the seventies. I was 
wearing a Captain's hat while the wedding band I was with was playing 
the ever-popular C&T medley of 'Love will keep us together', 'Muskrat 
Love' and 'Do that to me one more time'. 

Believe it or not, Love will keep us together' was the number one 
song of 1975. Things have certainly changed.
