Every other year, I listen to all of the music in my collection. Often, I discover new things about music I'm familiar with or learn new things about songs I'm not as familiar with. This is where I'll be documenting that.

Viper Skiffle Group's "The Wild Colonial Boy"
I'm not sure if I noticed this before or not, but I certainly haven't written about it. In Viper Skiffle Group's "The Wild Colonial Boy," there's an interruption in the drum part in the middle of the lines "Well, he fired a shot at Kelly" and "Then he fired a shot at Fitzroy too." Throughout the verses, there's a kind of shuffle that I think is played with brushes, but after the "fired a shot" phrases, there's a sudden hit, apparently to portray those shots.
