lunatics

Me, Jayne and bethany went to see Aaron perform with his school band at a Christmas concert at the Anglican Cathedral tonight. The building is one of my favourites in Liverpool, and the event was very enjoyable - despite bonkers religious overtones. In a religious house.


Aaron's now the principal drummer in the band. He has a good sense of rhythm. He's got my drum machine set up in his room, complete with the footpads, and plays along to anything that takes his fancy.


Within the context of his school band, he has to play rather conservatively. And he does it rather well. At home, however, he thinks he's Keith Moon so you can make up your own mind about that!

Pardon the pun, but I'm constantly "drumming" into him about keeping things simple when playing drums because it's only on very, very rare occasions that lunatics like Moon, Townshend, Entwistle and Daltrey get together and make the noise that we know and love as The Who!

Practice makes perfect....hopefully!
