Larry
"Uncle Larry"
I've been noticing that my love for music is contagious. I am not one of these guys that talks about drumming all the time either, except here. I mean I'll talk if asked, but no one asks.
I just do it. That's enough it seems to make people want to do it.
Looking back I was definitely a major influence, meaning I got them hooked on playing an instrument, to minimal 3 people. My first stepson, then my son, now my stepson from my 2nd marriage. So that's pretty cool.
My cousin got me hooked with his Ringo kit in the 60's. He still has it.
My latest stepson...I can't believe how drumming has literally changed his life for the better. He was the kind of kid that was easy to pick on if you get my drift. Now he is one of the stars of his school...solely through his drumming.
He has confidence through the roof and he gets a good bit of attention. He keeps good time and he doesn't show off, he just plays the song. He's 13. I can see his inner joy from the whole thing.
Let's hear your stories.
