![]() Every few years I need to rethink, reconsider, regroup, refocus my activities. After 2 years in my new home of Toronto, the time is now to do just those things. When I first moved here my professional goal was to successfully establish my teaching studio. Secondly, find folks to play with and make beautiful music. Done. Now it's time to move the studio to the next level by increasing the value of my work for my students.
Cheers, David

Really. Guaranteed to catch everyone off guard. And, it might work. Step one: Make a goal, write it down, etc. You know the drill. Think you are too old. BS, I almost 60 and nobody and I mean nobody said to me, "what are you doing here?" Step two: Prepare
Step Three: Get out there
Final thoughts:
I'm now jamming and playing shows on drums in my new home of Toronto. Nearly everyone I play with is younger than me, sometimes a lot younger. (25 years old and up!) Some are older too. Best, David Story |
