AnsweredBapu's (and others) random thoughts for the day.

I work so hard they don't get chance to go rusty..

Hey UB,  d'you think 2'6" is to high for a drum riser?

That depends. Are you trying to make sure your drummer can't climb up there? If so, you might want to go higher. Otherwise, 2'6" is probably okay. Any higher and someone might strain something. 

So ewe are saying the drummer may need to rise to the occasion.........or would he need to march to a different drum?

I'm saying that he may use the Bass player as a landing pad. 

I'm doing preparation for our annual bike club rally where I get to be in charge of everything in the marquee.  I decided this year we'd have a drum riser built into the stage by using longer legs for some of the stage panels.
It only makes it 1 foot higher than the rest of the stage, but the drop off the back would be 2'6"...

Not high enough?

I would go higher. One foot higher than the rest of the stage is not a lot. If you can go a bit higher without a lot of extra work or expense, that might be a good thing. If your drummer is likely to stage dive off the back of the stage, you have a different problem. When you go three feet or more above the stage, you end up adding some steps or a ladder on the back, unless watching the drummer dismount is part of the show. 

Moobs make a great cushion

Nature's bouncy castle

Nature's bouncy debacle!!

Moobed.

I'd say to make it higher.  Then you could simply hide the drummer under the stage with the bass player. 

Bass players don't need to hide - we already have the power of invisibility.
 
We are aided in this by the lighting guy, who believe we all have light sensitivity issues.

It's a well documented fact that shining a spotlight on a bass player may result in an SBS (Spontaneous Bass Solo). While relatively harmless in themselves, they have been known to precipitate an ERGS (Exaggerated Retaliatory Guitar Solo). The ERGS, as you know, may prompt the rest of the band to leave the stage in search of dinner until the frenzy dies out. 

A proper guitar solo doesn't require the rest of the band to be present you know. 
 

Nice bit of vintage Prog du Jour for Craig
 

That makes me want to eat some Italian food. 
 
(Ok, I lied, I'm always in the mood for Italian food, but maybe I'll have to do the PFM discography once I finish with IQ - still about four albums to go, should be done before tomorrow!)

We probably did, but I suffer from CRS, so I apologize
and yes the kick boxing can place the foot in a sensitive area of a man

So where are your family from?

jamesg1213
So where are your family from?

both sets of grandparents from rural Hungary, emigrated here around turn of last century.
Both parents were born in the states,and different fortunes brought them all  here to Louisiana to respond to ads placed in Hungarian language newspapers in the north US enticing them to work land here and work in sawmills.

I bet there's a fascinating story there. The Hungarians I know are extremely hard-working folk.

It's Greek to me.

Funny thing. I know a Greek guy (born and raised there) and they say "it's all Chinese to me".

I know a Chinese guy living in Canada and he says "it's all French to me".

Bill Murray was great in that. One of my favourite movies.

Are you bragging? 

Not at all, just had a nice day. I doubt if I'd last 5 minutes....

Hey hey hey....it's MONDAAAAAY!!!
 
Greetings all!!

Whew!!
 
Monday is over with.......didn't know how serious my case was.

Over?  Mine feels like it's just starting...

It's mourning. I Am not a mourning person. I hate getting up early in the mourning. Some have tried to convince me that I'm not using that word correctly and that the early part of the day is actually called, "Morning." 
 
I'm sipping coffee and thinking that I was right. 

So you are sojourning in the mourning?

I'm a bike this mourning. I'm too tired. 
 
See? That's pathetic. I know that. I know it, but I have only few neurons twitching right now and frankly, they're not happy about it. 
 
My eyes can't be bothered to focus, my head has decided it would rather fall on my desk, and this coffee only works if it's applied externally. I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo very tired. 
 
To make things worse, there's a great big ball of fire in the sky and everyone is acting like that's normal. Yeah, right! Wait, there's more. There are happy people walking around the office wishing everyone a good mourning and exuding cheer.
 
It's a daymare. 

This would make great reality show: Bubba's World in Light Years

Bubba...Reality.
 
One of these things is not like the other. 

Well the actual filming of the show would be reality, but Bubba's World would be.........or not 2B?
