“Hey, Love of My Life, why do you have a wallet

“Hey, Love of My Life, why do you have a wallet taped to your snare?” 💗🥁💗Said Mr. Hawks, “This is my tribute to Al Jackson, Jr.” Jackson used this technique to deaden some of the ring on the snare, one of the secrets of the Stax sound. And it was kind of perfect seeing how Greg had just set up his drums, while in another room I’d been explaining to a student on Zoom about the power of the “drum roll“ in punctuation, how it’s one reason you use a colon. One way to find your writer’s voice is to find the joy and power in all the marks of punctuation—the ways they can help us express our signature sound.
