Advice From A Drummer
“If you are really passionate about what you do and what you want, here’s my advice: Continue to work hard at it. Practice, practice, practice. Play and perform any chance you get, with any kind of musical genre you can. While I believe playing from your heart and soul is most important, learning to read music will also help. I recently visited a school’s music department and overheard the teacher telling his students, ‘Practice makes progress.’ I love this message. Becoming ‘perfect’ shouldn’t be the goal. Just keep trying to do your best. Growth, in and of itself, is the real goal.” -From, “The Beat Of My Own Drum” By: Sheila E

New Word: Catfish
In 2014, the word “catfish” was added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary with a meaning different than the original meaning of: “Any of an order (Siluriformes) of chiefly freshwater stout-bodied scaleless bony fishes having long tactile barbels.”
The newly added meaning of the word “catfish” is as follows: “A person who sets up a false personal profile on a social networking site for fraudulent or deceptive purposes.” The new meaning of the word was popularized by an MTV reality TV show that exposed people with falsified online social accounts.
