It's a holiday today! Though as I'm writing this post, around the world it's already tomorrow, so I'm kinda late. Whoops! I've haven't been one for receiving gifts just for the holidays, but I do like to give myself a gift every few years or so. You want to hear about it? O.K. here it goes....

One day when I was submerging myself in cyberspace, I stumbled across this amazing percussion instrument called a Foot Drum Kit. It's hand made by a man named Pete Farmer. Basically, if you feel like playing a drumset with your feet, he's the man that can make it happen for you. There's bass, snare, cymbals, shakers, and anything your little heart desires, percussively speaking. Oh, cowbell! Did I mention cowbell? It's insane, and it all sounds like a drumset! Not to mention it's only a fraction of the size and fits nicely in a carrying case. Needless to say I fell in love instantly. True story. Honest.

So now after some endless nights thinking it over, not really, but I have been thinking about it constantly almost, I've decided that my feet are in need of a friend. It's like my arms are doing all the work when I play. It's just not fair for my feet to be taking all the weight, looking up at my hands while they get to have all the fun being musical and what not. Just a sad thought. So I'm going to get a Foot Drum Kit just for them. Soon, my feet will be participating in my live performances to the fullest. Not just activating the guitar pedals and looper, but providing you with the rhythm that is the heartbeat of the show. It's just so very exciting!

All this talk about my feet. You would think they were my kids or something. Still haven't named them yet, though I'm thinking I should. Enough about that, it's the holidays, time for fun, be good to everyone, and let's make this last week of this month better than the second to last week of this month!
