Drummer Boy

Today was the first Sunday that I played the drums at church. It was fun! I have been practicing for only about 2 years! I already play guitar and lead worship, but I have always wanted to be a drummer. I have a LONG way to go, but I think I held my own. I have been doing online lessons to learn technique. I watch youtube videos and take what I see and apply it to my practice time. I have been doing the same on the guitar and have managed to improve in that department as well. I have been focused on learning blues and jazz chords as well as lead guitar scales. I really enjoy it. My current job allows me to do a lot. I have formed another band and we have our first gig next weekend. We call ourselves "Busted Luggage". It makes reference to leaving the past in the past. Taking the baggage that we carry into new days and smashing it to make room for the new things that God has for us.
I submitted my name in the kitty fro the CCEMS supervisor's position. I just put it into God's hands. I am way better off this time. I love where I am, so not getting the job will not hurt my feelings. I guess when you are indifferent, yo don't stress over it. God will provide whatever we need. I have faith for that. I will continue to post as often as I can, if only for my friend Krys. She is awesome! I hope to see her and her family again soon. God bless- DJ

You sing, you play guitar, now drums? What next? Ballroom dancing? ;) I'm so glad that you are enjoying life.

I WISH we would learn ballroom dancing together. I have said this for years! (sigh) Maybe someday if his schedule ever allows for it. :)

It's hard for me to think you played drums beyond the "Booom-Chunk" I remembered you used to playing :)
