That is one spazzo drummer!!

 

[snowbear94]

Feel her bow rise free of Mother Sea
In a sunburst cloud of spray,
That stings the cheek while the rigging will speak
Of sea-miles gone away;
She is always best under full press
Hard over as she'll lay.
And who will know the Bluenose in the sun?

 

[snowbear94]

That proud, fast queen of the Grand Banks fleet
Portrayed on every dime;
Knew hard work in her time
Hard work in every line.

 

[snowbear94]

The rich men's toys of the Gloucester boys
With their token bit of cod;
They snapped their spars and strained to pass her by
But she left them all behind.

 

[snowbear94]

Now her namesake daughter remains to show what she has been,
What every schoolboy remembers and will not come again;
To think she's the last of the Grand Banks schooners
That fed so many men.
And who will know the Bluenose in the sun?

[snowbear94]

So does she not take wing like a living thing
Child of the moving tide?
See her pass with grace on the water's face
With clean and quiet pride;
Our own tall ship of great renown still lifts unto the sky
Who will know the Bluenose in the sun?

"Bluenose" -- Stan Rogers.

Because I couldn't find the winky face fast enough. Too many damn smileys.

Yeah, they could use a good culling.

You mean we don't need to express when we are "heart-borken"? Or "chargrined'? Or a teapot? Or an ampersand? (Edit: Duh, the "at" sign, not the ampersand. Durrr! )

This one is still my favorite: Emptiness. For when you MUST express your existential ennui and/or post-modern malaise with an emoji.

I was going to ask what band, but then I see in the background that it was a drumming competition.

I think you should totally go shoot the Air Guitar World Championships!

Line me up and I'm there.

The drummer is Eric Improda, a friend of the family. He came in second in the Guitar Center Drum-Off. His band is Night Verses.
