What does it mean to be an “organized” drummer?

When your band plays a song, do you play that song the same way every time? If not, you should. Here’s why…

It can all be summed up into one word called “predictability.” So many drummers will never play a song the same way twice. This, many times, throws the other musicians off, potentially causing a drag in timing or increasing the chances of a mislead cue.

As the drummer in a band it is your responsiblity to provide the foundation for the music. This meaning that everything you do behind the drum kit is vital. Anything you do out of the ordinary, or something the other musicians are not used to hearing you play in a particular song really has the potential to screw things up.

Experimenting is definitely a good thing, and that’s why we practice, but there just comes a time when experimenting is over. You must decide what you’re gonna do and then stick to it. Never throw in something that the other musicians are not expecting or you can end up with some serious choas.

Predictability is a must! The other musicians must know what you’re going to do before you do it. An outstanding drummer is predictable, prepared and organized, ready to bring his or her goods to the table. Personally, it has always bothered me when a band mate would come to play and he or she would just not be ready. Situations like that are just not fair to everyone else who is ready.

It’s been said that when prepardness and opportunity meet, success occurs. I don’t know what kind of “success” your hoping for, but one thing is for sure, you will more likely meet with it by being organized when opportunity knocks.

It says a lot about an artist when their return to the media spotlight after a long absence is met by almost as much hype as before they went away.

And it says much more when that artist is a popstar who’s recording company is prepared to patiently wait over a decade for the next release.

Such is the case with Aerial, the new album by mysterious British songstress, Kate Bush who’s return after a 12 year hiatus has both the critics and die-hard fans buzzing with excitement.

And it would seem from first listen that it has been well worth the wait.

Aerial was written and recorded over 5 years in Bush’s home studio. It is an ambitous double CD split into two parts.

Part 1 - A Sea of Honey is a obtuse analysis of domestic contentment and features the first single King of the Mountain, as well as such interesting pieces as How to be Invisible, a ode to her son Bertie, and an interesting musical interpretation of the mathematical calculation Pi.

Part 2 - A Sky of Honey is a conceptual piece in nine parts, built around recurring motifs of light and birdsong (the album’s cover art, which seems to show a mountain range at sunset is in fact a waveform which represents birdsong), following a day from afternoon through dusk and night and on to sunrise.

The album ignores all current world pretentions by featuring an array of somewhat “unhip” artists such as Rolf Harris, Lol Creme (10CC), Gary Booker (Procol Harum), and Nick Kamen who completed his offerings shorty before his death in 2003. Also back is drummer Stuart Elliott who has appeared on every one of her albums.

In the gap since 1993’s The Red Shoes, the myth of Kate Bush has grown to extraordinary heights. Rumours that she had become a recluse, or suffered a breakdown and gone off into la la land have now finally been dismissed. In fact she has simply been doing nothing more peculiar than being a mother bringing up her son, and watching on while people made up nutty stories about her.

But don’t expect a world tour any time soon though as the reluctant popstar has agreed to only a handful of interviews for the new album prefering the music speak for itself.

Kate Bush has come a long way since she was discovered by Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd) and signed to EMI at the tender age of 16 and celebrating international success with Wuthering Heights.

But as the soothing etherial sounds of Aerial wash over you, one could be forgiven for thinking time has simply stood still.

Dorinne Davis has written many books that concentrate on the subjects of hearing and sound. In the well-researched textbook, Sound Bodies through Sound Therapy, she looks at the concept of sound being a nutrient for our bodies.

There are 11 detailed and well-planned chapters, each of which opens with a quote and closes with a useful chapter synopsis. This book is not so technical that an individual or patient would find it daunting, yet it is quite thorough and incorporates both the independent and scientific findings that a therapist would need to know.

The historical use of music in healing was quite interesting. Because of our drum business, it was particularly interesting to read that regular steady rhythms can restore a normal, healthy pulse, sedating the left brain and allowing the right brain to be more creative. I was also amazed that the US Army used music therapy to accelerate healing in their wounded and ailing during WWII.

Dorinne explains that each living molecule has a vibration that causes frequency and this is the driving theory behind using sound as a healing therapy. The author describes the physics of how sound affects various mediums and why sound could be used to eradicate cancer and tumors. According to Dorinne, sound therapy could also be applied to many medical situations - stroke, autism, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, learning and listening difficulties and even physical injuries.

It was very surprising to learn that ‘everyday’ environmental toxins can have such a dramatic effect on brain functions and hearing. The ear affects so much more than we may realize, including balance and emotions.

With this small article we are continuing Microsoft Business Solutions CRM customization, development, modification, setup and implementation discussion.

Microsoft CRM at this moment doesn’t have advanced fax automation - you can register the fact of fax receiving or sending, but it is not sufficient for your daily work with your clients. User should be able to send and receive faxes in her/his work environment - it is in MS CRM

Fax software automation market is very mature and we don’t have to re-invite the bicycle here. All we have to do is - integrate one of the reliable solutions into Microsoft CRM. Let’s look at the technical aspects of the integration:

• Modification should be based on the standard event Fax Activity logic alteration. Standard CRM version allows in- or out-going fax info saving into SQL database. Alternative form should have additional parameters for fax delivering

• Immediately after the moment of fax saving into CRM database, Albaspectrum MS CRM Universal Fax Connector takes over the logic, more precisely its fax sending portion of the logic, realized as MS CRM Post-Callout, registered for Fax Activity addition and update. At the moment of new fax activity creation, our module considers attached documents as subject to be transferred to the addressee.

• Depending on the fax application/extension you use, call parameters are transferred to the appropriate plug-in, which in turn communicates with fax application.

• Fax sending might be done through specialized systems or direct hardware control via MS FAX API.

• Initially we plan to support GFI FaxMaker and Captaris RightFax via their printing & integration system with email servers MS Exchange and Lotus Domino

• Documents, delivered or received through fax extension could be integrated into MS SharePoint via our proposed product Albaspectrum MS CRM Document Gateway. This allows you to revise and versionize document with automatic fax delivery to the addressees involved

• For incoming faxes we suggest capturing via special handlers on the MTA (MS Exchange or Lotus Domino) level - their task is to take over fax transfer and saving it for the addressee in CRM and Fax Activity creation in MS CRM

• This approach provides seamless incoming and outgoing fax document workflow in MS CRM.

There is no question the fact that the triumph of a company ultimately comes down to the hard work of the workforce, however one catastrophe can quickly wipe out all your hard work & bring down the revenue to zero. Thus, to evade such an occurrence, you are advised to insure your organisation, whether it’s a small enterprise or a big corporation. Yet, please note that smaller organisations are more probable to need business insurance cover in today’s world. This is mainly as smaller organisation owners will have put their entire lives and pay straight into the company. Help protect your business against legal claims with public liability insurance.

A few of the things frequently protected by the majority of business insurance covers comprise of: natural tragedies, avalanches, mechanism or apparatus failure that closes down the organisation, loss of earnings due to workforce negligence & litigation brought against the firm.

There are copious numbers of insurance businesses, which have covers that include both protection for all major property & liability risks in one solitary package. You can also select a separate policy. Such a coverage is often called a business owners’ policy (BOP). Bigger firms might well pay for a commercial policy cover.

BOPs comprise of building insurance for buildings & tools owned by the firm. If there is any loss of revenue as a result of disruption of systems and commerce because of tragedies like volcanoes, it can be covered under the Business Interruption Insurance.

There are specific policies, which cover the company’s legal accountability for the damage it may well inflict to others. It’s the consequence your organisation’s failure to do the business operations. It can as well be the bodily injury or building damage caused as a result of substandard products, faulty fittings & blunders in services provided.

But, BOPs do not protect against professional liability, motor cover, employees’ compensation or health and disability cover. With this in mind, separate insurance policies are required for professional services, commercial vehicles & workers. More often than not, floods, earthquakes & terrorist attacks are not protected in the business cover. Always check before you purchase a policy!

I love to reminisce about the old days when sheet music played an important part in the pop music culture of the time. As soon as a new song was introduced, either by a burlesque singer or by being sent out on radio waves, millions of people would rush out to the music or department store to buy the latest song in sheet music form. Almost everybody owned a piano or could visit as friend who was lucky enough to have one. Piano lessons were part of every child’s education in those days.

A while ago, our chorus music committee leader needed some pictures to supply a theme for the upcoming show on Irving Berlin melodies. I was able to gladden him with twenty samples of songs Berlin wrote in their original colorful form. Today, these graphic reminders of past musical pleasures are available from many sources. Most antique stores have a box of old music you can go through. Relatives who are up in years often have a box or suitcase full of old sheet music they are glad to get rid or. Garage sales and rummage bazaars occasionally have donated to them whole boxes of music. Of course, as a collector you only want music sheets which are in excellent condition.

Most fun are the songs of Tin Pan Alley from the early 1900’s. I have found some rare examples of sheet music from the mid 1800’s, but I have never heart these songs sung.

You also may want to limit your collection to a certain category that pleases you. Most valuable are portrayals of ethnic life in America, covers with pictures of ships, planes or automobiles, or of famous people. It goes without saying that there are certain rare covers which bring huge prices, but you don’t have to worry about finding one of those, even though you never know. Easier to collect are sheet music featuring girl’s names, (wanted by their namesakes), famous singers, movie and Broadway hits, and patriotic themes.

I’m sure your older relatives or grandparents can sing or even play most of the songs you find. It’s fun to categorize and preserve your sheet music collection in clear plastic sleeves and chat or trade around the world with other collectors. I found it not too difficult to produce a CD presentation including two or three hundred of your favorite covers along with names of the composer and date, the lyricist, and the celebrity on the front. If you are offering them for sale, include the price. You can follow the popular price guides or depend on supply and demand. Most excellent quality sheet music covers of a collectible nature are worth from ten to twenty dollars on the market to the right people. You might even find a copy of ‘Their Song’ for framing.

A lottery consortium can be a fail-safe and painless means to play the lotto without squandering a colleague’s hard-earned cash; one just requires care to set-up and with the correct lotto contracts in order or possibly an e-lottery syndicate. Every now and then perhaps it can be problematic whilst dealing with the subject of cash and can still get folks mad with one another. That is why a 3rd party who addresses the money is hence a good idea.

Consequently, to be the syndicate leader and buy the tickets for the UK Lotto you must live in the UK. This does not mean that you must reside in the Uk to take part in the Uk National Lottery though. All you need to do to set up or join a lottery consortium and have the lottery tickets bought in the UK. When the lotto draw has been made then all you need to do is check off your lottery numbers. Colleagues, friends and fellow workers placing their money collectively to purchase multiple lottery tickets is not a new conception! There have been some reports of factory employee’s and friends that have won it big. Surprisingly though, yet when they have gained a considerable measure of cash they still return to the workplace as normal.

That’s them, for us it seems e-lottery syndicates are probably the most efficient means of winning the lottery. The idea works on one basic principle which is the more lottery tickets your syndicate purchases the greater your likelihood is of winning. There are nonetheless still those individuals that seem to win with just one lotto ticket although they are unusual, though a few people are capable of winning the jackpot by purchasing one or two lottery tickets on their way home from work. Even So an increasingly popular process for winning requires the use of syndicates. This procedure gives you with a lot more chances to win by buying as many lottery tickets as imaginable.
