It’s About Time
for more than one reason, which may or may not become apparent as my posts continue, i’ve named this blog, it’s about time. on discovering i’m a drummer, one reason should be abundantly clear.
this coming saturday, i will be taking part in an event that will included hundreds and hundreds of drummers attempting to break a world record for the biggest group of players, keeping time together. (http://www.bennettdrums.com/) 500+ drummers of all ages and skill levels, playing together, for a common goal…hmmm remind you of anything?
proceeds from this event will go to assist school music programs and help homeless puget sound families. i participated last year and went away feeling that i had done something good.
time…it’s what i do for a living but it’s so much more. i hope you’ll join me as i figure out what to do with the time i’ve been given. part of me wonders if the world needs another blog? when i consider posting thoughts about my life and journey i’m reminded of what frederick buechner said about one of his autobiographical books,
“it is like telling somebody in detail how you are before they have asked the question….indeed, it isn’t like it; it is it.
so, i know you didn’t ask who i am or what i do but i hope you’ll join me as i figure that all out. its about time i do don’t you think?
