"The music plays on with each and every Beat of My Heart"
Jason Richard Smrkovsky
...
The year was the 1996 when I decided to bring music into the world!
My son was almost an adolescent at age twelve but extremely more mature for his time.
I would only have a little over 6 years left with this child soon to be a young man.
Understand?
...
My little Argonaut needed something that was missing?
So that day I bought a Maroon Pearl drum set.
As soon as I brought it home and he set it up completely.
Other accessories would be added later at his own cost.
Including two Zildjain symbols, their stands, a cowbell, a snare drum in other etc accessories.
And, as a result?
My wife Carolyn Ann gave me that evil eye look!
...
Note:You have to understand there is four girls and one boy.
And Carolyn's family there was five girls and five boys.
The mother whom I shalleth label. "Mildred the Miserable!"
Mistreated her.
So she got nothing from the mother and onlyfrom the father!
...
In the next several months.
Yes, father and son would learn how to properly maneuver that drum set.
...
Note: To be able to hit the drums properly?
And, to make the proper sounds?
You firstly need to be able to vibrate the actually pair tips of the sticks, at least to a Beat quickly three times!
You then need to know what part of the set to be hitting at what moment.
Including not just the sound of the drums but also the symbols!
...
Yes, as time progressed, he started his band and he also labeled it.
He bought an electric guitar for his friend Zack who was very interested.
They were basically a musical, kid, band but he did start cutting his own CDs.
(Based on music he loved!)
Yes, such as Michael Jackson and Bryan Adams!
And, he then sold them at the local Southern Regional High School for a buck a piece.
And, Entitling them, "Jason's Hot Shit!"
...
When it came to me playing?
I wasn't able to perfect it, as well as him but he seemed to pick this as something serious in his life.
And, soon he would he would be recognized by his friends and community.
Yes, the local kid that started his own band!
...
Time would pass and he would enter High School.
And, would practice even more.
He would be part of the percussion part of the band.
Not only playing the drums but also the keyboards.
Playing at the concerts for the various holiday seasons.

2) "The prophetic bark"
3) "which developed to go in quest" of the banks of Scythian Phasis"
4) "and to burst its way through the midst of the clashing rocks"
5) "and at length found a resting place in the stormy firmament"
...
"The Argonauts of Calius"
"I sing The Mighty Heroes whom of old, to grasp the boundaries ocean first made bold and the prophetic bark then such a feat for told; to
Scythian Phasis scared a way to force"
"Among the clashing rocks that barred it's course, to an Olympus story peak it halted,
"And to a constellation was exalted"
H. G. B.
