Immigrants

Now I'm understanding the fire that Ted Chernishuk felt more than 10 years ago. He was the first Third Frequency drummer. That guy was crazy on those drums. One complaint we sometimes got was that he was too loud but it was just a matter of him being in his own stratosphere. He really got into what he was playing and that's the thing that sets apart the amateur from the true professional.

I've been bleeding to play with people again. But no one seems interested. Or maybe I'm being negative. I just don't feel the vibe. I've been writing and recording a bunch of songs that I think... well... if I so dare to say... are Third Frequency-esque. Think it's just a matter of missing the band. Or a matter of just missing that feeling I got when playing on stage with people I generally like.

Back to Ted... He was a huge Led Zeppelin fan. I wasn't a fan. Don't really like Led Zeppelin. But that song "Immigrant Song" really kicks serious arse. I recorded my version of it recently. I so want to cover that song. The only thing, though, is that I'm sort of a beginning drummer now and that song is just way too fast and a bit advanced for me now. I know... it's actually a simple drum beat. But my feet and hands can't keep up. Guess it's all about practice.

Wow, this was a pretty random posting, wasn't it?
