Re-purposing Instruments:Wall Art

Just can’t help but share these pictures with everyone.    Music has inspired and saved so many people from going off the “deep” end, including myself.   See the article called Drumming Saved My Life on this site.  IMG_1737

As i stated in the caption, I made a living room end table that is lit inside with a bulb to give a great effect.   I wrapped it with a 1937 old New York newspaper I found at a local antique store and placed some semi-gloss poly over it to give it some “yellow” patina.  I enjoyed the project and it was cheap and unique.

 

Bottom-line, I just love the repurpose of the instrument to reflect a common connection we know. Hope you like the pictures as much as I do!

WICKID 6 Band

Random pics of places Jim has played in 2015.   I’m missing some pictures of events too, but you get the idea, we’re all having a blast together.   Check us out on the web at http://www.wicked6band.com or Facebook WICKID 6 Band

2015 was nothing short of interesting; let me share the short version for ya.  We lost of lead singers in the beginning of the year and at the end of the year our rhythm guitarist was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.   He is currently being treated and hopefully will have a full recovery in May/June time frame.

Sabbath Sunday…..

Manchester, NH (November 2014) – What is a “sabbath”?  The Webster’s Dictionary defines it as – a day of religious observance and abstinence from work, kept by Jews from Friday evening to Saturday evening, and by most Christians on Sunday.

That’s exactly what this was for me….  a day of drumming religion observed on Sunday.  LOL

Jim was invited to step-in (last minute) with a cover band for a song called “Mob Rules” by 70’s/80’s rockers, Black Sabbath.

Here’s a 120 sec video on the performance,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EUpxl2E12E
