A couple of weeks ago, around the time of the last OpenHook update, Jamie Varon chose to grab something off of my Amazon Wishlist for me to support OpenHook’s development. Her choice? A cow bell!
And yesterday I finally figured out how to get a good sound out of it. And shortly thereafter, Jamie tweeted me again requesting a video of the accomplishment.
Not wanting to disappoint, especially on such an easy request, here you go, for better or worse, a video of me, a cow bell, and a drum stick. Try to enjoy.
I hope you ignored my hair. It does its own thing; I just try not to make it angry.

@Rick: Thanks for a great belly laugh. Gotta have more cow bell! :-)
I got a fever!
Oh… wait! No I don’t, it’s cured!
My son said that last rythem came from Low Rider?
Loved the video, RockStar Rick!
Yes, that was “Lowrider” by War; it’s one of the most annoying popular songs I’ve ever heard, but I hear it nightly as I watch “George Lopez” on a fairly regular basis in reruns.
Thanks for watching. :)
I taunted your hair while I watched, so expect a bad day.
You officially crack me up!!!! My boys love watching George Lopez
This is definitely the “geek” side of KingdomGeek.
Look how cool our cross collection looks, haha.
I say more random videos.
I’d be *much* more apt to do more videos if our upstairs office was finally done. I figured out that I can rig your photography back drops up as a very nice, clean background for videos while I was up there sorting LEGO… (Is there a limit to how much of my geekiness this page shall reveal? Time shall tell!)
Just curious if anyone noticed they should pause for a bit near the end?
You are such a goof!
And Alicia, I noticed the cross collection looking good!
Need more Lego’s? I have about a pickup truck load of them. My son is about to go to Marine Corps boot camp. I will see if he wants to save them for later, perhaps for his kids. Dunno.
Might go the way of his G.I. Joe’s. Guys and
dolls, er, action figures. Sorry…Oh no, here comes the “it’s LEGO not Legos” speech!
I gotta tell you, Rick, it’s nice to find such a good group of people to banter back and forth with. Or is it forthwith…
Ha! What an awesome video!
Not surprised there are tutorials on how to play the cow bell. Glad you’re getting good use out of it!
And, you did say my last name wrong, but that’s ok. Most people do. =)
Jamie, how do you say your last name? Phonetic it out for us ;-)
Hey Rick, weardja get the cool T-shirt? I need one for my D-I-L blogger.
Got it from ThinkGeek. I like it… and probably wear it a bit too much. :P
