602.0. "Celebrity Roast - Len Fehskens" by DYO780::SCHAFER (Sir Mount of Olives) Thu Dec 11 1986 15:41

    Len has really gone out of his way to host various equipment demos and
    entertain unexpected drop-ins while enduring slams of his cats. ;-}

    I dropped by Monday night while in the great north at training, and
    even though he was quite tired, he allowed Dan Eaton and yours truly to
    view his studio, taking time to explain why he approached things as he
    did, and just generally shooting the breeze.

    I would like to publically thank you, len - on behalf of all of us -
    for your hospitality and for enduring those of us who are always
    hitting you up for whatever reason. And thanks very much for showing
    off your studio.  I learned a great deal, especially how to NOT set up
    a drum kit.  8-)

    As for you, Mr. Ross, I happen to think that Merlin was quite
    personable, and I enjoyed his company as well (read: pfffffft).

    Are you blushing yet, len?

	Well, aw shucks, guys, I don't what to say other than "I don't know what to say". I mean, I'm just another opinionated overpaid technoweenie rock and roll drummer with arrested rhythmic development who tries to make up for his musical deficiencies by buying a lot of equipment and being a nice guy. len.

	I don't know what the deal is here. I was just another opinionated overpaid technoweenie rock and roll drummer with arrested rhythmic development who tried to make up for his musical deficiencies by buying a lot of equipment and being a nice guy when I was 6. Too odd.

	Gee. I think I got arrested once: About age 15, after 5 years of formal private percussion 'lessons'. Teacher says something like: "OK, pal, flamadiddles, 13-stroke rolls, ratamaques, set- techniques, "independence". Hit the street. Thats all you need." Imagine my surprise and confusion. Wait a minute....did I pass or fail the final? Was that the final? where am I? I think thats when I retracted my right <censored: non-medical term> . And so despite arrestation....one 'goes on'..... I took up keys. great philosophy: "I'll show em I can't master these things." Oh well, when's the roast? Can I be a Roast-er? I think this should be bigger than "the Jam". moi.
