I am busy,lazy and always tired, but I often start something new too easily from a quick thought.
Yesterday, (but I reserved the class two weeks ago, so I can't say it was a whimsical idea), I attended a free drum lesson.
Several weeks ago, my elder co-worker who loves music chatted with me about forming a rock band with some colleagues. Of course I wanted to join in.
I thought I wanted to play every instrument except the keyboards, and especially the drums, because I like a lot of drum players, for example Keith Moon, Mike Portnoy, John Bonham and Nick Menza.
I have no confidence in my sense of rhythm and motor co-ordination, but I heared training can develop one's rhythmic sense and reflexes. I bet on the theory.
The class will start in September and I can't stand the suspense.

Classical Concert
Today I went to the Tokyo University Orchestra's summer concert.
My co-worker gave me the tickets because his daughter's in the orchestra, and I had introduced a music shop to him for his daughter when she decided to take violin lessons, 7 or 8 years ago.
So I went.
The concert hall was packed..., no, overflowing, but I luckily found a seat.
The program is as below.
1. "Ruslan and Ludmila"-Overture/ Mikhail Ivanobich Glinka
2. Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra in B minor, op.104
/ Antonin Leopold Dvorak
- intermission -
3. Symphony No.6 "Pathetique"in B minor, op.74 / Pyotr Ilyivh Tchaikovsky
I was suprised at the speedy playing of the first "Overture".
They gave us a brilliant performance, but because of my sleep shortage I was barely conscious during the Concerto.
Due to a cup of coffee during the intermission I was satisfied with the Symphony.
I was meant to go with Mother, but in the morning, she phoned me and said that my sister had broken a instep of her feet and
Mother was called out to help her. So my mother failed to arrive in time.
After the concert I was able to find Mother and we left the hall. She said she arrived there in the intermission.
I heared my sister broke two points of her toe bones and she need an axilla crutch, but her rooms were supposed to be messy and she couldn't walk with the crutch in her rooms. Hence I heard she said to Mother "Please go shopping for me and clear my rooms!"
Mother thought that my sis was with suspected of osteoporosis (brittle-bone disease), because she ordinarily took poor diet.
she said she had boiled two bunch of spinach and put it in the fridge. How caring she is!
