Percussive Arts Society festival day 1
Tonight was the first night of the Percussive Arts Society festival at the Owasso Performing Arts Center. It was so cool. Some schools' percussion ensembles came to perform from 1:00 to 5:30. Then at 7:00 the featured concert was Glen Velez, one of the best hand drummer in the world. He played some insane stuff, and at the end they had the Owasso percussion ensemble and Bartlesville ensemble play with him on a couple of his tunes.
Tomorrow we will have other percussion ensembles at 8:00 am, and that night the featured concert is Gregg Bissonette, one of the best drum set player in the world, with bassist Rod Clark. The Owasso percussion will play with him on six songs. I will be playing in four of them. It is going to be one of the best experiences in my life. Four of the songs are strictly drum set and steel drums. Two of the four I play are these.

I can personally attest to the awesomeness of both of these fine percussionists as I had the privelidge of being able to attend this performance. But what made it even more special was that my son and of course his fellow class mates got to play along side these muscisians. I video taped it and I plan on putting it on a CD for my family to watch. It should be worth the wait. Danny you are awesome in your own right keep up the good work. Love mom.
Oh how proud I am of you Danny! Praise God for you and your talant! I can't wait to hear the CD!
I love you!
