The band's getting back together

After an extended break from a sparsely updated blogging career, an upcoming event has encouraged me too once again grace the walls of the internet.

Many years ago when youth had first found my bones, I could at times be found behind a set of drums, pounding rhythms for axe wielding compatriots as we butchered our way through a catalog of classic rock anthems. Of our merry band of musical misfits, many have continued to hone their craft, whereas for many years my drums have gathered dust, my only offering to the beat a well struck dashboard or a stratosphere puncturing fist pump.

As our lives become more complicated, each day structured and each thought with a cause, we can easily find reason to pass on activities we once enjoyed. And as days stack upon those which preceded them, the memories are like the whispers of a passing couple in the early throws of love. In quiet moments we remember, and think that we will one day return to these passions, and the thought alone warms our soul. Just long enough for life to once again claim us as one of its own.

I`m here to say that we must resist the urge to let our passions fall to the rearview.

The band's getting back together.
