And then someone tries to steal your schtick...

Just when you think you have a unique thing, such as the hat Cathy made me for my birthday, along comes some wise guy that wants to horn in on the action you are getting.

Here is me in the new hat:















Next thing you know I get a Modern Drummer magazine. I don't subscribe to modern drummer, my son does. I just don't know about the name of that magazine, after all drumming is an art that originated in the old old days with a guy pounding a log with a stick to keep away wild creatures after the fire died down. Next morning his buddies told him, "Good Job," so he started pounding it day and night and so 25,000 years later we got a magazine trying to tell us that aint the way it happened or there's more to it or something like that.

How he knew I had a hat like this I'll never know, but I know one thing, when you are out there in front as far as I am they never leave you alone.
