Everyone should have a secret spot

Carlo Rovelli

I am changing this bass drum head for the first time and I am feeling a little sentimental about it. My dad picked me up on the last day of my freshman year of high school and told me we were going to go pick out a drum kit. He knew I’d been wanting to play for years and he had been secretly saving up. I can’t begin to express the excitement I still feel thinking about that moment. My dad didn’t just give me a drum kit that day. He gave me music. He gave me an entire world that I wouldn’t have known without it. A world of joy and frustration and discipline and seedy bars and packing up vans and spending entirely too much money at music stores. Almost every friend I’ve had that matters I’ve made through our mutual love of playing music. Thanks dad. I am so very grateful.
