Sharing my disabilities for disability pride month
My wife recorded me talking about my living with Type 1 diabetes. Next week I'll find out for sure whether or not I'm also on the spectrum for autism (social discomfort).

Drum cover - Dear Mr. Fantasy by Traffic
Переглядів 45Місяць тому
My son assisted me with the recording of this one. It's one of my favorite Traffic songs, and it features the vocals by Steve Winwood. Vocal and bass cover are coming at a later time, but I did record a tiktok of me doing bass and vocals.
Belated happy birthday, Ringo Starr!

Decided to do a quick parody of a Beatles song (yeah, I know, not written by Ringo), since Ringo's birthday officially was... yesterday... and then I did the beginning of the Beatles song, "Birthday." It at least had a drum intro to it. #classicrock #drummer #vocals #beatles #drumcover #drums #ilovemusic #music #musician #1960s #parody #humor

I performed this live at Good Neighbor Day in Downingtown, PA. Perhaps my all-time favorite Bob Seger song. #vocals #drumcover #classicrock #drummer #ilovemusic #musician #music #70smusic #livemusic #drums
Demo of my drum set

Last week, I set up my ride cymbal. Tonight, I explain the difference between the hi-hat, ride, and crash cymbals. Then, I will play a little demonstration rhythm. It's nothing in particular, just whatever rhythm I feel like playing. Enjoy! #drummer #drumsolo #ilovemusic #musician #cymbals #drums #drumsticks

I ordered a 20-inch ride cymbal to go with my 2nd hand drum setup I had purchased a couple of weeks back. In this video, I am setting it up and demonstrating the use and sound quality.
Drum and Vocal Cover of Crazy Elephant's "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'"

Growing up, I've always had a strong liking of this song. It's short, but very sweet - and driving - from its steady bass line and drum beat to the intermittent organ chords. Released in 1969, it was the band's biggest hit. I would always air drum the heck out of this jam and imagine myself drumming this song for real. Tonight, I had a chance to rock it out on the drums. #drumcover #music #voca...
The Beatles' "Across the Universe" vocal cover
Переглядів 552 місяці тому
This is my vocal cover of another favorite Beatles song (yes, I have quite a few of them). It's "Across the Universe," which is off of their final album, "Let it Be." There were two versions of this. The original version, sung in a slightly lower key, has more of a somber feel to it. In the late 80s, with the release of Past Masters, Vol I and I, they used an alternate version, which had birds ...
The Beatles "In My Life" vocal and drum cover
Переглядів 1562 місяці тому
One of my favorite Beatles songs from one of the most iconic albums in classic rock, "Rubber Soul." i have been a huge Beatles fan ever since high school, and I grew up in a rather musically inclined family. My dad performed in a band, and my mom sang in the church choir. I played trombone all throughout high school, college, and beyond, as well as sang with various organizations. This is my fa...
Simple repair to a battery-powered car
Переглядів 138 місяців тому
This was a battery-powered car that came with a track my son got as a Hanukkah present. When it quit working, I decided to investigate, and on doing so, I discovered that this little toy needed a very minor, simple fix. This video is in real time; not condensed, and yes, I was able to completely screw everything back together! 👍
Me doing karaoke - Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Переглядів 472 роки тому
Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit from their 1991 album "Nevermind" has become one of my favorite songs to sing along to. This was me doing karaoke to this song at a local bar and restaurant in suburban Philadelphia (Exton, PA to be exact). Any comments are welcome.

    Hey man! I'm sorry you have diabetes type 1 that's definitely rough. I remember you telling me about it. As for autism, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it and in my eyes it's not a disability just a different way of being your own person. As you know my son has autism and see stuff differently and I see it as a super power! As for the way you are I see it the same! Never have social anxiety always ready to meet new people never worried about what other people think and being able to kick some ass on drums in front of crowds! I could never do that for the life of me lol but you go up and do it without hesitation. Never look at autism as a disability it's a super power! Keep your head up my guy! -keith from Colliflower

      @keithsmith2869 wow, man. Thanks for the supportive words! I did enjoy working directly alongside you and Blake. I'm still trying to figure out UA-cam and TikTok. I'd like to stay in touch. Not sure if there are ways of sending private messages on here or not, but hey, there's Facebook as well. For now, I launched a handyman business as I try to figure out where my next chapter will take me; I'm getting a slew of (potential) clients. Some react negatively to an autism diagnosis, especially in adulthood, but I feel liberated.

    Last Wednesday, I had the feedback session following the assessments. I can confirm that i have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Frankly, I feel liberated. ❤

      Not picking up on social cues, not reading people, standing too close to people...

    😊yo man I got mr and mood disorder. You used to piss me off and I showed people that I was not going to take it! Now I've been to jail a few times and I learned my lesson and I'm in my late 30s I just love enjoying life and being who I am and no need to hurt people like that. When I get mad I draw or watch UA-cam and it takes my mind off stuff

      @@LucasDrabek-km3hj glad to see you're pursuing positive outlets to keep you grounded. That's why I'm taking up music - and art as well. My wife is a professional artist, so I do what I can to promote her stuff. I go to her openings to support her, but I also enjoy going because I find art in and of itself to be soothing. Anyway, I'm also taking up photography and drawing. 😀

    Why sing a song by Paul to honor Ringo

    • @Jon-Ivy
      @Jon-Ivy Місяць тому

      It's a play on words. Ringo's birthday was yesterday. I suppose I could have done a parody of Ringo's "You're 16," but I think that would have been odd coming from another dude... 😂

      Ok. I've always seen it posted/stated as happy belated, so I guess that was always wrong & just never knew that.
