once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

John,

It's part of a full kit that I've been working on slooooooowly, very very sloooooooooowly for several months. I've finished the rack tom and the snare. Still have to completely go through the floor tom and kick.

I'm at the point where I'm not really looking forward to it. The snare alone took me two months because of working on it in only my spare time, of which there is none.

I figure by summer I will have the rest done. Sadly, that's probably close to the truth, even though I would love to have the time to work 24/7 on it.
