Ultimate Optimist

Optimistically drumming himself into a frenzy.
With Fly at the Club.

We loaded up the van and went down to Charlotte. Had dinner at Ru'san's which is always excellent. A primarily japanese menu with about 600 choices. Afterwards on to the World Famous Milestone Club for a triple bill. Ran into Robert Childers, drummer for 2013 Wolves and the Overmountain Boys and formerly with David Childers and the Modern Don Juans. Robert was purchasing some cool pen and ink art from a guy at the club. Opening act was the "Ultimate Optimist", a drummer who used an ipod to start a sampling loop and then played over the loop very frenetically on the drums. It's great to see experimental music and who knows where this will head. Go to my youtube for a vid. The sound is a little distorted, but I have a new camera and am working out the kinks. Plus the Milestone was loud, as it should be. www.youtube.com/nosyfieldstone See the Ultimate Optimist at www.youtube.com/ultimateoptimist
