DRUMMER CAFE

Hi again Hannah,
Yea, your show was great.  I expecially liked the way you catered to the kids.  They loved you. I think my son was inspired by watching you.  He has played his snare drum just about every day since the show. I love the way you discribe what you do to a drum kit.  I got to assult my kit for about 5 hours on Sunday afternoon. I will probably think about assulting them from now on.  I never looked at it that way.
 As far as Pasic goes, Louis has given me an education through PM's on how to get involved and the over all cost. I am trying to work it out to where I can do it for at least two day's, maybe three.  I would like to see who's clinics are on what days first.
There is still time.  I guess I have to register for PAS? I guess I might as well do that this week. I really hope more Cafe members go this year.  It would be nice to put a face with some of these folks.  Maybe we can all pick a time and meet at The Cafe Booth each day and kind of make that a starting point.  I am sure Bart wouldn't mind.
I guess I could wear one of my three cafe T's each day to help support The Cafe.
Good luck with your school this week and hope to see you perform again sometime.
Watching you and your band was a pleasure. Oh, I love your new equipment. Very professional looking and sounding .
MODIFY:  I am sorry, Bart said he would be there but is not going to have a booth this year.

Thank you.

Well, they're All dancers, so, they're already part drummers in my book.   

The daughter on the left just took up *snare drum* in school band.
My littlest one - in the middle - doesn't take lessons, but I always see her eyeing my kit, picking up the sticks, and having at it.   She also hangs out with me when I practice. 

We'll see.  It would be fun to see one/some of them find the joy that comes from playing.

Thank you.  That's not even the whole bunch, but anyway ... 

All I'll say for you parents who loved having children but were concerned it would be too much work to keep going:  it's not.     

My theories on parenting:   

- First child is the hardest.  You're a rookie, and everything is new. 
- Second child is another plateau because now you're learning how to manage *more than one* at a time.
- From there on, it's all easy.     By the third, you have relaxed, and you have your System down. 
- If you go further than that, you start getting help from the older children. 

 

In our house, too.  Actually, not the meal part, but yes on the dishes and laundry part.
Now, quality control is suspect at times, but, ...   


Great idea. 
Seriously, my only *retirement plan* is that, since I have had a large family, Statistically 1 of them is likely to be financially well off, and that child is going to have to take me in.
