Gary Trenchard - Fusion, Jazz, Rock, Blues, Latin, Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern, Continental, Global, Country, Classical Musician - Drummer
....... I am a musician, painter, photographer, designer and enterprise architect.
In high school I played jazz, classical and rock and roll and was a member of the Michigan Youth Symphony under the direction of Dr. William D. Revelli. I recieved a music scholarship to attend Adrian College. I have played with many jazz, rock and fusion bands including Southbound, XWay, Grooves, Papineau and Friends, Pan Fried Mojo and String Theory.
I attended Berklee College of Music in the 70's and was lucky enough to study jazz drumming under Alan Dawson (Dave Brubeck's drummer) and Gary Chafee.
I also enjoy motorcycles and freedom. I spend a good part of my time playing somehow and somewhere. There are no limits in life or music. Limits only exist in science and people's minds.
Music is a fabric of the universe as represented in string theory. It is no accident that there is a mysterious attraction towards music that cannot be fully understood but certainly fully appreciated.
PRINCIPAL ONE: There are no limits to what the human mind can do.
PONDERINGS on the BIG Questions:
1. Question: Is there "a groove" after death?
Answer: Yes, absolutely, it is well documented ... though you may not be able to hear or feel it.
2. Question: Lets discuss pro and con fusion. What are the tradeoffs ?
Answer: Good Question.
3. Question: So ... you are drummer ... do you need a watch to keep time?
Answer: Take some advice from the great jazz drummer and innovator, Jo Jones, a great timekeeper, who said you do not need a watch ... remove it and you will find less stress.
4. Question: Can you make money in music?
Answer: Drawing on the classical wisdom of Leonard Bernstein, yes, you can make money in music by selling band uniforms. See principal one above.
