Loved this moment in our last show - I wanted to transition out of the guitar solo by mirroring a change in the bass line and into the line I know Hana comes back in on. You can see Nick and Hana both realize what I am doing, and the camera man goes hype as it all pays off.
We buried her on her wedding anniversary next to my grandfather, who passed almost exactly 10 years prior.
I could sit at that kitchen table playing cards forever. I loved every second of it.
Any time I smell French toast in an iron skillet, I am a small child in my grandmother's house.
There is a pack of spearmint gum in the pantry left of the stove, "buckeyes" in an emptied can of frizzled onions in the freezer, and a plastic barrel of cheese puffs on the counter.
Next to the rotary phone that's built into the wall beneath a mounted 8-point buck is a deck of cards with a rubber band around it.
My grandmother passed late last week at the age of 97, shortly after our annual Labor Day family reunion weekend.
@NJSP@NJSP each time I've narrowly avoided collision with multiple aggressive drivers attempting to leverage their way through the rapidly shifting traffic, switching lanes, cutting around through margins, etc. This cannot be a net benefit to society.
@NJSP I am begging you, for the safety of your citizens, to order the NJ State Troopers to stop the tactic where they drive slow swerving in front of traffic to get everyone to slam on their breaks on the Parkway.
@NJSP I've seen it twice in the past month and it creates an extremely dangerous situation where drivers are trying to react to the massive change in otherwise unimpeded traffic.
Amusingly, the electric lead part played by Niko here was written primarily by me, while the acoustic lead parts played by me through the intro, 2nd Verse, and outro, were all primarily written by Nick (our bassist). It's a fun one! Enjoy
@MaverickLiftAC Bingo. Maximal joint angle velocity itself can be capped and is trainable. This is why some people can squat high percentages of bodyweight and still not jump as high as somewhat weaker people - it's why we have to switch to plyos and assisted jumps eventually.
