Correcta-mundo in the woman dept.!
The best present I ever get, and I get it all year, is from my wife. When I practice everyday she dances to my playing! I can hear her moving back and forth as the floor boards squeak overhead. She encourages me to play and then she does these spontaneous, exuberant dances while I play. I've never had that kind of love and support (in terms of my drumming and my incessant buying,) from anybody else in my entire life.
I agree... our greatest gift is the women who put up with us and even act as enablers for our shared obsession for drums. I am grateful for her.
Thanx, Bev for my statue and for all the love you give me all year long.
