Magic

​Every so often I come across a photo that captures the magic of what I hear when listening to music. This is one of those photos. Credit: Timothy Hiehle. Specifically it is a shot of Ben Sesar, drummer for Brad Paisley. To get a taste of this particular magic, I recommend listening to the song "Welcome To The Future". You should listen to it on CD or vinyl, otherwise you will miss a lot of the great nuances that Ben adds to the song. The subtle coloring he adds with toms and cymbals is freakin' brilliant. Also, if you are lucky enough to see Brad Paisley live, hope that they play "Time Warp" or the solo section from Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher". Ben and Brad crush it on those those pieces live.
