 English Channel - September 2004


Swimming Everest

By TERRY TOMALIN, Times Outdoors Editor
Published September 9, 2004

The 21-mile crossing of the English Channel is the open-water peak for challengers such as Ron Collins. They call it the Everest of open-water swimming. "It doesn't matter how many times you have swam around Manhattan or across Tampa Bay," Ron Collins said a few days before he would attempt to add his name to the record book. "When it comes to long-distance swims, there is only one that matters and that is the English Channel." MORE>>>

We don't have anything recorded yet. Our first performance as a group is at the end of September.
We will be doing 4 short sets over the course of an hour. Someone will
be taking video too. So I'll make sure you get a link to that! We'll talk to you soon! Take care.

New Rhythm and Drumming Education Resource : All Free

Announcing the New RhythmResource.com 

Hey Ron,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know about my newest web adventure. After many bleary eyed hours scouring the web for high quality drumming education content (and becoming frustrated at the lack of consistent quality), I've found and assembled what I feel is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in drums and drumming. At the RhythmResource you'll find some of the highest quality drumming lessons (of all kinds: drumset, djembe, conga, tabla, bata...), interesting articles, incredible performance videos and much more. The best part is that all of it is completely free. Enjoy and spread the word!
Hope you're doing great. Have an excellent summer!

Be well, Jim Donovan
