For the past couple of weeks, Darby and I have been playing for fun with our friend Kim. It has been a most refreshing experience playing for the sake of it and trying new things. Last week, I discovered that I could actually throw down some bass licks and kick out a beat on the drums. I considered it beginner's luck. Last night, I decided to give it a go again. I've never really had much desire to play drums. In fact, I had always considered them quite intimidating. But, I have say, I impressed myself. Lord only knows how I was able to do it, but I took to it like a duck in water. Perhaps it was all those years behind the piano teaching my legs and arms to act separately. I was even able to sing while playing them. This made me most curious, so when I came home raving about how much I enjoyed it, my husband suggested I try playing my guitar, playing the kick drum and singing my songs. Except for those couple of oddly timed songs, it worked! I mean, it really, really worked. It worked so well, I'm gonna start doing some of our tunes that way. Look out world. I just found yet another way to take The Virgo 9 out there!Friday, July 11, 2008
The Possibilities Are Endless!!!
