This goes out to Alan…
Alan, I work upon inspiration. When I say “work,” I mean act, behave, move, etc. I was moved to say this to you, all below, publicly, so that others could see it, and, choose whether or not they wish to join or not, if you wish what I propose, below, to be.
It is my understanding that you created this forum. By doing so you in a sense changed history. This forum has created a metamorphosis in music by creating a metamorphosis in the drumming world by creating a metamorphosis and the electronic drumming world. Worlds collide. Dominoes hitting each other. One hand helping another. So on and so forth…
Many friendships and bonds, whether over the Internet, or in person, and really in the end, what is the difference as I don’t see any difference, as friendships can be just as deep over the phone, over the net, as they can in person, so you have helped forge many deep human relationships which have manifested uncountable benefits for so very many.
You also have helped so many in so many ways, not just in drumming, in so many very many ways, by having access to a community that cares, an outlet to express emotions, friends, support, venting, a means to grow both as a person and a musician, a vehicle that help people to make more money to support themselves and their families, and so much more; it’s really beyond words and truly ineffable.
From what I read in another thread about your condition, I speak most politely when I say this, and stated utterly gingerly, with nothing but good intent, your prognosis, seems potentially serious, though, I am 100% certain that it is the hope of all, of course including myself, that somehow some way you experience a complete turnaround. Assuming that things do not turn around, which I say with the deepest of hearts, then I assume there is a possibility that things may become, I don’t know how else to say, but serious.
I am sure many would wish to communicate with you with you directly. I am also sure there are many who may wish to possibly convey their heart-felt deep gratefulness and appreciation, if not even, yes the word love, to you.
I propose that if you wish it, and only if you wish it, that the “regulars” here, (if you wish the “non-regulars,” as well, that is fine, and your choice, though you may not want “strangers,” which is totally reasonable and understandable), those that you have gotten to know to one degree or another here, who have the means, (who otherwise don’t have the means I am sure will be there in mind heart or Spirit), to come to you.
What you wish of this visit is entirely up to you, if it is to be so, which again is your choice. This is only an offer. Whatever you choose of course is absolutely respected absolutely.
So, if we come to you, if you choose it, if you want to “let it rip” in some way, WHAT-EVER that may be, then it shall be. Or any other side of the spectrum, if you want just a quiet sit-around, drum-around, or such, then so be it, (or something in the middle, etc.). It’s up to you, if you wish at all.
I for one will make the means happen to meet the potential group to come to you. If you wish it, just speak it here, and those who also wish to do so may post here, and then those of us who commit to coming will communicate together and we will figure the logistics of what when and where and such. If you choose it, do not worry, we will work it out.
For me it would be nothing but an honor and a privilege, and I owe this to you. I am sure I speak for a lot of others when I say these words.
Let us know what you want friend, and either way, consider it done.
