Original book introduction: This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters…the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

The author had never taken any formal music lessons, but she had always loved the feeling of organized chaos that she got from listening to jazz. She was determined to create that feeling in her drumming.

#3

One day, while going through his mother’s things, David found an old photo of him and his sister, taken at a club. In the photo, he is on the drums, and she is dancing with him. He felt a sense of pride that he had grown up to be a great drummer like his father.

#4

The author was a poor, awkward teenager with no friends and no interest in making any when he joined a local cover band as a drummer. One Sunday, he approached the leader, Lenny Robinson, and asked for lessons.

Horrible. Went back and forth between pronouns and hard to read. Rather dive back into the original
