October - December 2020
For various reasons we decided to relocate to Europe, Germany. I expected to be a lot sadder, leaving my dream home and dream home town after all these years. However, too many things have changed since I first arrived. Los Angeles and California are not the same anymore. The climate is changing, air quality is getting worse by the day and with Covid19 restrictions and set back and the fact that most of my studio/session work is done via file sharing and remotely anyway, I couldn’t justify the massive effort and expenses to live in LA anymore. In meantime we did start a drum channel featuring FREE drum lessons. Check it out and pass it along.
