Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
This is for Trombone Al and I figure Ha will get it too, probably some other musical people here might find this of interest. It has been part of my music education. My son is in his last year of college getting a music degree specifically in percussion (Can't think of appropriate emoticon for my mixed emotions as a father.) I am not particularly musical and as is common, my son doesn't seriously discuss what is most important to him. An opportunity presented itself when I read an article in The Economist Magazine (my favorite magazine) about a particular event in the history of drumming "'Seven Seconds of Fire' How a short burst of drumming changed the face of music". *Musical history: Seven seconds of fire | The Economist (the link is sometimes uncooperative, I can send the article by message but I suspect there is a copyright issue with posting the whole thing). My son had heard of it, discussed the rif in class and with friends, he sent me a youtube that better presents it as it includes sound bits, not just text as in the magazine article. http://youtube/5SaFTm2bcac
Even better is the whole actual song which now makes more sense to me:
