I shall look deeper into this, as the interview is fascinating. Unfortunately for me, the example he chooses as a 'Step One' exercise is not the best in my case, as my breathing was never as 'automatic' as it should, from birth..! To me, it's a conscious thing to do, to the point where sleeping can be dramatic at times..! I'll get the book and read it, but will substitute his simple 'watch your inner self breath' with something else, such as my heartbeat (thankfully, that seems to work properly..!). No, I don't suffer from stage fright, nor nerves when playing, but I do have the issue of being the one wanting to (trying to...) control what my limbs are doing (I'm a drummer...). Independence and coordination are a life-long path of self-improvement, and being better able to extract 'myself' from the process sounds like a smart way forward (OK, a bit late now, in my 70's, but still...). Thanks for sharing the video.

I'm still waiting for 'Viking' to become trendy again.

Lengthy but vague or trivial talk or writing. Example of use : "We've edited out some of the waffle"

I recognised exactly seven names among that lot, two of which I've actually heard play something (Paul McCartney and Richard Thompson...). One more if that was Jack's Junkyard Dogs (I think not...). Much to discover, but I shan't be attending. My loss, I'm sure, but half a century too late for me...

The bit my foot pushes through is a hole..!

Woe betide the concert flautist deigning to present him or herself wielding a vulgar Boosey & Hawkes. A solid-silver Kessler & Sons, however, would pass muster without a further glance. Yes, people are people the World over.

I'd say that there were at least two (3/4 arpeggio, 4/4 drums...), with glitches and odd bars thrown in. It's an easy enough mistake to make; the fellow just turned two pages of the songbook that were stuck together. I'll not be keeping it for my car radio, nor recommend it for our band to adopt. 'We Made It'..? Not much to be proud of, in my view (YMMV, naturally...).

Good afternoon, @-Adrien-, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. (I'm British, moved to France nearly half a century ago. Despite all this time passed, I have retained my British accent when speaking in French, as it's a 'talking point', cunningly designed to provoke interest in fair ladies. Coincidently I am also lazy. )

My fault, buddy; sorry. I 'phoned, and asked them to get the sound right for those listening from the hotel window opposite. Ooops.

There'd be less if folk checked their text before submitting their posts. ...

This 👇 is D'oh..! music...

Cue 'The Two Ronnies' (revamped...) ...

So..? Sit in the back seat, then..!

People with inverted peasants are baseless.

... or lefty. ...

Soooooo, you've heard me playing, it seems. ...

I hope I'm wrong, but if I was a betting man (I'm not...), my money would still be on ...

'D'oh..!' begins with a 'D'. Just sayin'.

Here is my contribution to the June 2022 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: Skank Del Var. The yellowing sky gave me the impression ofa storm brewing. A bucolic scene, but could be deceptive.Some heavy raindrops, a brief shower..? Maybe it'll turn out fine after all... Another collage of bits'n'bobs, with a Superior Drummer 'Tracker' experiment which seems to have worked. No treatment, other than my standard Reaper NY Glue on the Master tracks, as usual. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.

Here's a few 'hooks' for you...
