When it comes to Rachel Ray, I have to wonder what they pump into her to keep her so perky, no one is that perky naturally, especially for long periods of time.

Did she visit the Foster Farm Chickens and get filled with salt water?

tons of coffee.

And here's one for Hobie:

Torture for a drummer is a crowd either clapping on the on beat instead of the after beat or just randomly clapping along with the music. There's been times when I wanted to offer a class on clapping during the first break.

TIP: Watch the drummer's left hand and stick. When he/she hits the snare drum with it, CLAP!!!

Rant over.

I have to agree Hobie. While I've never really performed as a drummer (well, not with a set, I was in the drumline in High School) Just being at a concert with people clapping at the wrong part or even worse, when everyone in the crowd seems to be clapping at a different time, I have a hard time just enjoying the music. I've been known to just look around and say, I really wish people could all clap at the same time at least.

It's caused by a dreaded, sometimes fatal, disease named Lakarhythm.

As a drummer, I *have* given clapping lessons. :)

Well, Then here's one about bass players:

Hey bass player, look at the bass player.
Look at that smile - there's sadness in that smile.
Look at that chord structure - there's sadness in that chord structure.
Look at him flail like at the Wailing Wall with nothing but stubby fingers and a dumb look on his face.
