The Drum

My love—if not obsession—with listening to music extends to back when I was a toddler.  At the age of five you could find me playing my mother’s LP records.  I especially liked Johnny Horton, the Sons of the Pioneers, and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.

Today, I appreciate most music genres.  When I am driving or if I am home during the day, I have music on constantly.  At the cabin, I have music playing 24 hours a day.

About two months ago, something unaccountable occurred.  I don’t know why it happened, but for some reason, I began to focus almost entirely on the drummer in every song.  For some songs, this kind of focus completely changes the listening experience.

Posted is a song featuring one drum and one voice.  In this song you have no choice but the drum.
