Trak-Tor Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Well, something from the archives... I've visited my father today and he gave me this: A cutout from a nationwide newspaper, about 40 years old. And you can guess who's the boy on the right working on some nice LSP...

mpk Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) I dunno if I am me. For all I know I am something else. Perhaps a potted plant or a kettle. With this in mind, I'll show people who are within my orbit. Yolanda. A student. This shot taken 30 minutes ago at her gig. I am so proud. She's coming for a lesson on Tuesday. I have a surprise for her. I am passing on a lovely Turkish cymbal. She needs it and I want her to own it. Plus I still have too much equipment. I teach her drum set and percussion. Mainly Brasilian and Afro Cuban on various instruments ftrom drum set to cuica. This is Luna. Luna and I have been close for some time. Luna has only been to visit me at certain time when I was home and very sick. One day Luna knocked. I was too sick and didn't want to answer the door. Luna got impatient and kept knocking. Luna stopped coming over when I was no longer that sick. This is the Machine!!!! If I ever make him laugh, it often gets out of control. As can be seen. The Machine began with me when he was 3. He is now 12. This is his reaction to the very silly word, paradiddle. Perhaps it was the way I pronounced it? Here is a hilarious 5 year old. She loves to wear my hats. This is me on the left at a drum festival with the owner of the shop I taught for as senior teacher teaching drums and ethnic percussion. The shop did not survive covid. We are at a drum festival. I think I gave or wad supposed to give a master class. I can't remember. This is Jeff. Jeff is a student and wonderful drummer. You can hear him on many TV shows such as Vampire diaries and many others. Jeff really wanted to interview me for his drumming podcast. Another student, Luke. Another student who has gone on to acchieve wonderful success playing with The Preachers. The Preachers. My brother at one of his many worldwide shows. Myself in the past before I broke my back. My niece. My nephew winning a film making award. 91 year old father. Myself on stage playing congas with a band while on a 2 day release from hospital. I have no memory of it. The device carrying my medicine to my heart through my chest cannot be seen. It's behind me. I was crazy. I ended up having 389 doses of chemo. I thought it wss only 290. My doctor disabused me of this a few months ago. 42 lumbar punctures. I thought it was only 34. The following day I was back in hospital. I got out about 6 months later. The bass player is in my own band now. My own band. My 2nd drumming gig following my cancer. I can't afford to pay them to rehearse. We jam. My job here is to make the music work. I play an interesting enough funky groove and hold the time steady so they can be comfortable. It's my first time as leader. The Band Without A Name.

Bomber Command nut Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Maru When Vera came over in 2014 she did indeed met up with Thumper but after, Vera was 'station' at the former airfield at Kirmington (166 Squadron) better known as Humberside International. Both aircraft flew together on a number of occasions and I was lucky enough to have been able to get to the many locations around Lincolnshire when they did including the occasion when they flew around Lincoln Cathedral with that other AVRO Icon, the Vulcan bomber. mpk How I would love to weather a 1:1 Lancaster with my own choice of squadron marking etc. I personally think that NX611 'Just Jane' should change her ID on a more frequent basis to represent a few more aircraft . . . Thanks to you all for the warm welcome best regards Ian mpk, dutik and R Palimaka 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpk Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I just saw a student play a gig. He did a fine job. As did the rest of the band. There is still a live scene for original music here in Sydney. Hopefully it will reclaim a somewhat normal niche. I feel lucky to be able to play at all compared to so many other places. I hope soon we can all view it in our rear view mirrors. BiggTim, Starfighter and dutik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
