Not sure what this one will mean for the fans? More YouTube clip removals? More cracking down on some of the things that I do? Hey…who knows? Maybe someone from there would actually listen to me and I could get permission for use of lyrical content in my art? Pfffft! Yeah, sure. If I agree…
It’s Monday. It’s July 1st…there’s only one thing for it!
Yesterday was the first tuition I’ve had in two months. Gareth was great. Started me back right from scratch, really. We went right back to basics. We worked on stick grip, rudiments, grooves and fills. I can’t really talk a lot about it…not really going into much detail. And it felt a lot to take…
