You already know who they are.
They say a watched pot never boils. It does, it just feels like forever because it is almost as exciting as watching paint dry.
They say starve a cold, feed a fever. Does that mean if you have a cold you can or can't have chicken soup? Does it matter if you have a fever? If it is chicken soup, can you have bits in it or does it need to be broth?
They also say that music is a great way to teach kids math. If I had been able to keep a beat that was consistent and other people could count to, it might have been valid for me. The only way for me to hold a beat was to have a metronome or a person who could actually count in a rhythmic manner clue me in so I sounded not all together horrible.
Percussionists are amazing because they cannot only count a beat and set a beat, they also set the mood and rhythm for a song and often an entire evening.
Clayton Cameron is able to explain it and make it fun! Why couldn't he have been the band director when I was a kid? (Yes, another quickie.)
