Over the last week, I’ve been stuck in bed with a fever from COVID, so what else was there to do but listen to music?  (Rhetorical question) ...I began pondering whether what I doing was a waste of time.  WTF?  Was my fever making me irrational?  Of course, listening was great to do, so what was going on?

Here’s what I busted myself for doing: just lying there enjoying what I was listening to and letting it roll over me; I wasn’t in analytical or critical mode, nor was I trying to learn music.

I want to make crazy mallets! Fun mallets! Here is the set I think I convinced Malletech to make! 

I love playing duo with David. But also I love playing with Behn and now Oliver.

Check out Oliver two years ago (2020) and then 2022.

Here is my second one! 

Wiat for it!
