🎵You’ve got to, got to, got to… keep on rollin…. Ahhhhhhhhhhh roll with the changes! 🎶
In case you haven’t noticed my singing is not so much singing as a bad impression of what I hear in my head. It drives my wife crazy who is an actual singer. I find it entertaining. There is a fascinating book called “This Is Your Brain on Music” that explains the science behind what happens in your head as you listen to music. Fascinating stuff. There is a TED video that’s similar for those of you like me that appreciate 15 minute nuggets over hour long books. It talks about how the anticipation of a completed musical pattern releases a dopamine hit and can become addictive in some way. That’s the best part about drumming – nailing the perfect timing and conclusion of a pattern that releases that dopamine hit in you and everyone listening. That, and being so rhythmically precise that you fall into what’s called “the pocket” where you just can’t help but nod your head or tap your foot.
That feeling can work either way though. It can be good or bad. A wrong note or an offbeat conclusion and it negatively affects your brain chemistry. If you’re prepared and deliver the conclusion on time, it’s good.
With all that in mind, it’s legacy quarter – here is what I would like to not see. I would like to not see the same old story. I would like to see everyone get a dopamine hit of being able to experience the fulfillment of anticipation when they say their legacy plan is done and dusted (to borrow a phrase from our international friends.)
I asked you last week to take an hour. Did you? Come on… really? Put an hour or two on your calendar, get your plan updated and make a little progress.
This week’s song is about turning pages, moving on, rolling with the changes. We’re on the cusp (hopefully) of working out of some of the pandemic restrictions and we need to be ready to take advantage, seize the opportunity & beat the competition to the punch. Let’s get together soon and talk about that. Let's really slingshot each other forward and thrive coming out of this past year of uncertainty.
