Am I Going to see Journey & Toto Tonight?

Remember this post: https://prhmusic.blogspot.com/2022/10/journey-toto-on-2023-03-21.html? I hope I am going to Moline, IL, tonight!

Journey & Toto on 2023-03-21

I have never seen Journey in concert and I have never seen Toto in concert. I have the opportunity to do so on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, which is 154 days (5 months, 3 days) from now.

Dave's Gone Skiing is an amazing Odd Time Tune

The idea of me being able to play any song that has smooth transitions between time signatures - in this example, 9/8, 7/8, and 4/4 - is a daunting propostion. Right now, I feel like my drumming abilities will never be able to include "playing smooth transitions between time signatures" - but, perhaps, this video will change my life!

Rosanna

When I watched this video by Rick Beato, it made me decide to learn the drum part for Toto's "Rosanna."

Thankfully there are a lot of transcriptions available on youtube.
