New Friends
Feeling a little excited I took a seat with the rest of the new students. There was a young guy, about the same age as me and a complete newbie. Next to him was an older man who had been playing swing music for a long time and wanted to expand his playing of different styles. Were there only three of us? I don’t remember there being anyone else, although the group seems small in hindsight. We all had sticks and were agog over the drum set and our new teacher who exhibited an understandably cool confidence.
