I'd completely lost touch with my first drum teacher, a little know but brilliant performer named "Sonny" (Sik Phuk) Yung. A Korean by birth, he came to Canada as a 20 year old to seek fame and fortune and left half a year later with Chlamydia. In those few months of lessons with him I learnt more about the art of musical performance than in all my years of study that were to follow.
Sonny used to say; "You got to putting good show...every time!!" or "Why you no having fun, music make you happy...every time!!" He wasn't a great technician but he swung like nobody's business and thanks to regular contributor Dixxx and YouTube I've found him once again.

I've never watched a drummer up close and personal before. Tell me, Blobby, do you make the same faces during the climax of musical passion?
Good question Maria but there's never a mirror around when I need one. I suppose I can invite you to my next performance and you can be the judge. Oh yeah...Phyllis will be here in 2 weeks.
I heard tickets for this event are being scalped on ebay and craigslist. Seats in the reds are going for about $500.
