So, rhythm in itself isn't music? I invite all of you self-professed music experts to come to my classroom and tell my snare drum students that when they play their solos for Solo Festival in a few weeks that what they are doing is not music, since it is pitchless rhythm.
(And for your information,
I get to make 11-year olds cry because I've earned it by dealing with them everyday.
You guys, on the other hand, have earned
nothing regarding the privilege of making my students cry.)
Regarding the 3 reasons...I have been called, by various women friends here in El Paso, the El Paso Unicorn. The gag is that I am the mythical creature that all the single ladies here supposedly want, since
3. I have my own (running) car (two, technically)
2. I have a steady, good-paying job
1. I have no ex-wives or any children.
Of course, the irony is that even though all the ladies are supposedly looking for that, they AREN'T lining up to knock down my front door. (I know why, and truthfully...I'm fine with it. ^_^ )
