Gee, Thanx

Tonight, I'm seeing my dad play with his band, Thanx.

Although he's my father, Thanx is the most atrocious band name I've ever heard.

Anyways, my dad's been a drummer for over 40 years and it's always a pleasure seeing him play.

He originally went to the Dana School of music as a music education/percussion major, but dropped out after his parents got divorced.

Over the years, his adeptness at drums gave him the opportunity to play in a bunch of bands, one of which included the bassist from The Human Beinz.

When I was little, my dad was in a band called The Impalas and the small amount he collected from shows helped us scrape by as we weren't too financially well off.

I always wanted to be a drummer in a band, like better than Meg White, but not crazy like Dave Lombardo.

I'd still like to pick up the french horn again and maybe even dust off my guitar that's been collecting dust in my closet.

I'll probably stick to collecting records and being a follower in the art of 'shoulda, woulda, coulda'.
