Great story all round. I still have my pictures taken amongst the pipes etc in my basement drum space. The last promo picture taken was for Serpent Cymbals and I'd just come out of the fanciest studios on the East coast. Something about a drummer working away in a corner in amongst the jumble catches the fancy of the public, and other drummers I might add.
As to the press. Well...I've spent a good quarter of my life sweeping up after those birds. I think basically entertainment reporters live in their own fantasies three quarters of the time. If they had to pay the amount of dues and work as hard at their craft as we do ours, well...I think they would just melt down to jibbering idiots. They are half way there any way. It's just a damned fine thing that you got yourself into the papers period. Good stuff. Shows guts. And that's what drumming is all about really.
Don't need your autograph old man, I have your picture. That's worth at least 10,000 more words than anything else I could think of.

I've just checked with my manager.
She says once I finish the dishes, I can do autographs.
We must have the same manager

Don't feel bad cats. I have the same manager at home and another one out there in the Music World. You see see it when they lock horns. I just sit back and wait until a stalemate happens and then step in. Of course the outside manager always wins but I get the residual flak, so I make sure the outside manager keeps me working a lot. I've had the outside manager a lot longer than the inside one!

Nice one for getting in the papers, Stuart! I assume you get plenty of 'newspaper inches' in your local rag? Making the 'big time'!
I love how journos twist quotes/words...

Nice! I love the photo. You look like you're fighting off an attack of invading cymbals!
