They had a gigantic screen where they showed various videos that they were trying to sell. One of them was Yanni, Live at the Acropolis. I listened to that video a hundred times and developed a taste for that (and the Three Tenors). Also, I went to Greece a couple years ago for work and actually got to see the Acropolis. It means more to me now that I've been there.<br /><br />(For as much as I complain about the beaucracy of my job, I've had a great career now that I think of it, Praise God).Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285043747501470199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-14350042653519577462010-06-08T06:14:31.350-05:002010-06-08T06:14:31.350-05:00I wonder if he can only play half a set since he i...I wonder if he can only play half a set since he is expending so much energy per beat...<br /><br />@Sir Aaron:<br /><br />I always thought your comments made you seem cool... but now the Yanni comment confirms it. (This from a guy who also has no musical talent--I can whistle). I cannot tell you how many times I have been made fun of for liking his music. And that drummer you are talking about was extremely talented.SandManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003338922805271638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-34360578250031901102010-06-07T23:20:11.863-05:002010-06-07T23:20:11.863-05:00Oh, that was fabulous!

I had a good friend in high school who was a cellist in a string quartet. They did weddings and had to play Pachelbel's Canon in D what felt like every other week. The cellist line is the same four notes for the entire piece. She said she was often tempted to start making up all kinds of weird gestures, something, just to stop herself from falling asleep.Rachael Starkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781158372237369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-62193294921363174552010-06-07T15:06:31.437-05:002010-06-07T15:06:31.437-05:00Grasshoppper boys LOVE the drummer.

Hmmm.<br /><br />I feel sorry for his jacket.<br /><br />He stayed on the beat, so I can't make my usual joke: So many drummers, so little time.<br /><br />If you've ever seen Abe Laboriel Jr. play, he's an amazingly physical drummer, although unlike this one, it doesn't come across at all as self-conscious. I saw him with Paul McCartney, and he matched the groove (or ungroove [see Starr, Ringo]) of any of McCartney's drummers through the years, and with a physicality that was beautiful to watch. And he's a believer, to boot.<br /><br />Last thought: I'm glad this guy's not on my worship team.David Regierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766862583586784668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-19298323827135976972010-06-07T10:46:42.735-05:002010-06-07T10:46:42.735-05:00play him the with cetera stuff instead of serafina...play him the with cetera stuff instead of serafina...<br /><br /><br /><br />there is no mercyBill Honsbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836300411894206079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-19597445571859940042010-06-07T10:30:31.333-05:002010-06-07T10:30:31.333-05:00Looks like a frustrated Drum and Bugle Corp snare ...Looks like a frustrated Drum and Bugle Corp snare drummer...
