Care
Being the main care giver, I have always been very close to my children. It has been a lot of fun taking them to the zoo, the museums, the aquarium or teaching them how to bike, how to swim, how to be nice to each other and to themselves. And, of course, it has been…
With or without you
This song is usually the last one we play on stage. We’ve done it with Louis’s drum solo since the beginning. Only now, he rips it something grand. I am so proud!
I want you to want me
This was done back in the days. We loved playing that song. Although, here, my children are a little intimidated by the cameras, as you can probably tell.
The mission 3
But Music is not a mission, and Music is not an absolute. Music must be tailored to the dimensions of the person playing it. Only then will we have the chance to hear what is inside his heart, which is the only truly interesting part of Music. Music must be practiced and played with a…

Wipe out
As drummers, we all know how the song “Wipe out” goes. You get the guitar riff (You accompany that with a rock beat), then the drummer does that accent pattern, and then you go back to the “normal” rock beat when the guitars come back. Riff, Drums, riff, drums, alternate that a few times, and…
That old cymbal
I know I am blogging like crazy, but I have a passion for the subject of music and it’s hard for me to not talk about it. So, for the ones following me, thank you! Now! Let’s get to the subject indicated on the title: Old cymbal. No one has yet to sing about old…
Who’s got the best music?
If you ever go to a festival, you will notice that the big act are usually in the evening. That’s when people are available. They get out of work, they go home, change, assemble with a few friends, and they’re ready to party. To a festival they go. The early act are not as popular…
