Summary

Nothing can beat a charismatic frontman. Then again, there are some Side Players that give them a run for their money. I mean… who is Bono without Edge? Freddie Mercury without Brian May? Roth or Haggar without Eddie Van Halen? Robert Plant without Jimmy Page? Anthony Kiedis without John Frusciante? Bon Scott or Brian Johnson without Angus & Malcolm? Or Mick Jagger without Keith Richards.Of course I would be remiss not to mention the few charismatic Frontmen that are also ripping guitarists. Like Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, Either of the Vaughn Brothers, Derek Trucks, Prince, Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler, Vince Gill… and lets just say ALL of the Kings.But which is it better to be, a Frontman or a Side Player? Can you be both? Which carries more stress? Which carries more fame? Does one roll have more significance than the other? Who has the bigger influence on the sound? If we could give some advice, what would it be? When I think of a band, which member comes to mind? And… job security… did I just get fired?Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Lloyd, on the Tweed Couch.

But which is it better to be, a Frontman or a Side Player? Can you be both? Which carries more stress? Which carries more fame? Does one roll have more significance than the other? Who has the bigger influence on the sound? If we could give some advice, what would it be? When I think of a band, which member comes to mind? And… job security… did I just get fired?

Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Lloyd, on the Tweed Couch.

Teesra Talks — occasional thoughts on cricket coaching Andrew I qualified as a cricket coach in 2009, but really started to coach seriously in 2014, working mostly with children (primary school age, and younger).My blog, theteesra.com, is a strong reflective discipline to maintain, but it can take time to pull together a post...4 years (and counting) in one extreme case.I tweet @theteesra, but the format doesn’t really encourage reflection.So, Teesra Talks will be more like an audio diary, where I can reflect on coaching issues more spontaneously than in a blog post, but in a little more depth than on Twitter.Please, do join the conversation. Tussen Boeddha & Darwin Noeska Adriana Welkom bij de Tussen Boeddha & Darwin Podcast van Noeska Adriana Coaching. In deze podcast bespreken we alles omtrent het psyche van de mens. Hoe ontstaan onze gedachten, wat zeggen onze emoties en gevoelens en hoe veranderen we ons gedrag? Wat is de impact van onze jeugd en heeft vooral onze omgeving invloed of zijn het onze genen? We bespreken de thema’s zowel wetenschappelijk als spiritueel. We belichten vanuit verschillende hoeken en brengen nuance aan waar nodig. De thema’s krijgen verdieping door de jarenlange ervaring in het werken met cliënten. Mijn naam is Noeska. Ik werk inmiddels 5 jaar als coach therapeut in Amsterdam. Ik behandel cliënten in langdurige therapie trajecten en help ze zichzelf beter te leren begrijpen. Twee keer per jaar organiseer ik samen met yogadocente Anna Scott Miller een retreat in Portugal.
