"It is essential to be able to return to that PRIMAL and INNOCENT state when in the act of creation."

I agree. And at the same time, it shines through what we have cultured in ourselves, the hours of practice, everything we have ever heard and learned and experienced and chewed up and swallowed and spat out. A toddler banging a rock with a stick has that primal and innocent state, but an artist returns to that state in its fully expressed form after a long inner journey.

I don't mean these comments to contradict or disagree with a single word of what you said. I'm just chiming in with more thoughts on the matter. I love your blog, and am a regular reader of it. It inspires me.

that's really funny, and also really sad that if they don't say such things they could be sued by fools. shouldn't the idiocy of certain members of society be treated as their own responsibility?

Frequently when reading your blog the Rocky theme starts playing in my head. The desire to throw wild punches in the air ensues.

I'm feeling like a 2am jog. :-)

hard to imagine the whole thing this excerpt was taken from. My favorite line is: everything is a good omen from God.

Love to listen to tabla, and never thought about learning to play an actual tabla but when I run, for an hour or two daily, the ground is a tabla and the experience of my ego, intellect, mind and senses is music created from my feet hitting the ground.

This is reminding me also of something Sharon told me about practicing chords on the guitar - it's important for someone who wants to sing and play at the same time to vocalize while practicing so you get used to doing both singing and playing at the same time.

Alan Dawson, the great jazz drummer and teacher who lived most of his life in the Boston area was the master of Stick Control applications. From endurance exercises to jazz independence studies, he got them all out of Stick Control pages 5 -7. That's where most of my ideas from S.C. came from. It's endless.

I think "the FIFTH LIMB of drumming on a foundation of invincible groove" needs to be our new band name. :-)
