Perhaps a video of me just grooving with the band today....

So, after all this solo stuff going on, I'm sure most people probably think I don't know what it is to play with and for other musicians.  I mean, why practice to have all these chops just to hide them when you can gleefully obliterate your band members with mind-bending drumming displays?

Never fear, for my first couple of years in college cured me of that!  You haven't lived until you pull up a chart with a big band to discover a basic 12-bar blues number, kick it off, and then have the band director stop the band after seven bars, and then proceed to rip into the drummer for not having his s**t together!
I thank my lucky stars daily that I learned this lesson, and regret that I hadn't learned it earlier, like in the 8th grade!  Time and groove are really where it's at, and I'm happy as a clam to be laying it down for the band and the potential dancers listening.  Enjoy this Stevie Wonder classic....
