ALWAYS Repeat Your Mistakes

Make a mistake playing drums? Don't fix it! Do it again!I have had a great day today. It's been a busy past few days for me. We had a rehearsal for All Sons & Daughters for our upcoming tour. On Thursday, I'll stop talking in days of the week, because I realize not everyone listens to this the day I record it. About four or five days ago, before the weekend, I had a rehearsal with All Sons & Daughters for tour and then on Friday, went back to the same studio where we rehearsed and had a session. I talked about that, I think, on that day, on Friday.Saturday we had a show with All Sons & Daughters, so we traveled up to Illinois, played a show, drove back yesterday, which would be Sunday and got back in the middle of the day. Today, had another rehearsal with All Sons & Daughters for the tour. That's been great. It's been a lot of fun to go through these new songs and really nitpick those and find what works and what doesn't work. Get a chance to play a lot of new songs all at once, which is always fun. Also, it can be really tiring to focus that long. It's almost like playing a session when you have to pay attention and put your energy into songs. You might play them over and over again, but you still have to focus and make sure you're paying attention to what you're playing and listening to yourself, and all kinds of stuff. Maybe I'll talk about that some day, about rehearsing.Right now, I am sweating and my mouth is on fire, because I just finished eating some Thai curry. I told them to give me a two-spice, which they do the 1-5 on the spice level. I think these people were like getting done for the day and decided they wanted to empty out their spice bucket or whatever the stuff is they put in there, because it was really hot for a two. My wife and I were down there eating, we were like crying. She said, you look like your lips are swollen. They probably are. Anyway, that's what's happening with me. Also, I think that... here's what I don't get. Why does curry retain heat so well? I feel like that and, if you've ever been up to Canada, Tim Hortons coffee, those things stay hot for forever.
