ok... i'll bite... why would ANYONE move from Eugene OR, to nj???????? <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/confused.gif" width=15 height=22>

1. to be close to the suck-n-sew in case of emergency hairballs?
2. to be close to the poconos, where I hear they make some interesting marzipan
3. cause they thought that things couldn't get any worse, so they stopped where they were???
4. cause nathen's perversions make most of the south unsafe for young hippie chicks
5. cause John Harm theater might have arlo back someday??

huh?

Hmmmmn. Y'know, It so happens, I was born in the foothills of the Poconos.

yeah, but then you went to mexico, right? That's a move I can understand!!!

well I have been to Eugene and I have been to New Jersey, hell even been to the burgs of D.C. but all and all I would rather be in Arizona.

Anna, ignore these people, I am sure I am not a pervert, but in a land of horses a unicorn in outcast, so it is with me.

(can't wait for Larry and Arnie to answer back on that one)

Nathan, honey, I get the feeling it's what you cast OUT that gets you in trouble! <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/naughty.gif" width=15 height=15>

Hi, Anna, and welcome!
What kind of drums do you play?

P.S. I moved from Arizona to Indy. Go figure.

Actually it was first to Florida, after that to Mexico; and I had no say in the matter anyway, being five and seven years old at the respective times. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

On the other hand, I haven't gone back yet, either.

I think any of us who don't live in Hanalei or Hana are crazy as hell, so you're right on schedule, Anna, and you have lot of company here.

truth is we moved for a job - my husband's

I (very badly) play a basic 5 piece drum set. Set it up in my bedroom and flail away. I am afflicted with rhythm deficit disorder, but I enjoy. I bought the set during a bit of a mid-life crisis following the birth of my daughters.

Anna, I don't want to go blowing any dearly held beliefs you may have, but drumming needs to be learned, just like any other skill. I imagine you used to be a lot shakier when it came to reading and writing when you first started out, too. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/wink.gif" width=15 height=15>

I to suffer from rhythm deficit disorder, but I sm trying to keep it secret, because people just seem to think it's something that I might overcome some day, sort of like a young kid who seems to be fond of members of the same sex.

I never have understood rhythm and every time I think I have a grasp on it it changes into something else, my idea if music has always been, annaoene, two three seven instead of the one two three four that so many others say they hear.

Nathen, and Anna too, if this helps. imagine, a metronome, in your head going, tick, tick, tick, right on beat...then let your hands and feet do variations, on the ticks. and, when listening to music, just listen to what the drums and bass are doing...that might help..!
