Daddy's Little Drummer


Hello to all, 
For you soccer fans out there, I hope you've all been enjoying the World Cup as it's been pretty interesting. Many of the European teams are out of the tournament including my team (Italy) and my band mates (Portugal) respectively. It's funny how so many of the good European teams are out, seems to me it's rigged as so many South American teams have suddenly made it to the next round. Anyways, may the best team win.
On another note, it was my youngest daughter's birthday this week and I thought I'd surprise her with her first drum-set. The look on her face was priceless, she wasted no time and smashed those drum skins with a huge smile on her face! I must say, it makes this dad proud to see his daughter so eager to play the drums and who knows, by the time she's five she may even kick my ass on them! 

The drum manufacturers sure have come a long way in the way they produce  beginners drum-sets let alone a drum-set for toddlers, and the finish on them isn't bad either. I think every kid should have a shot at least on one instrument, music is just as important as anything else in my opinion. My dad always supported me in music and it meant a lot to me, it helps to know you have that support. I remember when we use to practice in my garage in the dead of winter, my dad insulated the whole garage for us not to freeze our asses off, that was pretty cool. Looking back now I don't know how we did it but I guess you'll play in almost any condition when you love your music.
I want to wish my daughter a happy 3rd birthday! 
Daddy loves you.
