I don't get exposed to enough new and different living out
here in the sticks, sorta miss it at times.
None of my neighbors are music listeners really it seems,
not like the city where just in the course of walking up the road you were
exposed to a lot of it.  SEems the lady who
lives up the hill from us has a son who's started to take up the drums, and
he seems to practice a lot in his garage.  IN fact, it was that which made
me remember the joke "when does the drumming stop" I think I
posted in this echo .

Regards,
           Richard
