Sinossi

Chambers was born in Brooklyn, New York, to William P. Chambers (1827–1911), a corporate and bankruptcy lawyer, and Caroline Smith Boughton (1842–1913). His parents met when his mother was twelve years old and William P. was interning with her father, Joseph Boughton, a prominent corporate lawyer. Eventually the two formed the law firm of Chambers and Boughton which continued to prosper even after Josephs death in 1861. Robert Chamberss great-grandfather, William Chambers (birth unknown), a lieutenant in the British Royal Navy, was married to Amelia Saunders (1765–1822), a great granddaughter of Tobias Saunders of Westerly, Rhode Island. The couple moved from Westerly to Greenfield, Massachusetts and then to Galway, New York, where their son, also William Chambers (1798–1874), was born. The second William graduated from Union College at the age of 18, and then went to a college in Boston, where he studied medicine. Upon graduating, he and his wife, Eliza P. Allen (1793–1880), a direct descendant of Roger Williams, the founder of Providence, Rhode Island, were among the first settlers of Broadalbin, New York. His brother was the architect Walter Boughton Chambers.

    Necessary Death - What Horror...

    Based on very real and practical commentary, life experience, and occasionally, tongue-in-cheek-misfortunes of horror legends, Necessary Death explores how the horror genre offers individuals a unique opportunity for insight and understanding of their own lives. 
     
     
     
    Using some of the most quintessential movies in the genre, Chris Grosso and Preston Fassel invite listeners to an in-depth examination of the human condition—its fears, anxieties, hopes, joys, sorrows, and everything in-between—and how it's all grist for our personal and collective evolutionary mill. A hallmark of the genre is how horror films force their characters to find some semblance of inner strength and wherewithal in order to stand up to the monster, ghost, or villain that is trying to take their lives. Through fascinating discussion of this and other elements, Fassel and Grosso relate these films' dark subject matter and characters to real world issues people face every day. This sharp analysis is complemented by exercises that prompt listeners to consider gratitude, forgiveness, determination, and bravery in the face of adversity. 
     
     
     
    An unusual mix of film study and self-help, Necessary Death might surprise or even shock listeners, but it will also enlighten, educate, and most importantly hearten those looking for an unexpected source of inspiration.

    What does it actually take to become a great drummer? 
    Not just faster hands. Not better coordination. Not another technical breakthrough. 
    But a stronger mind behind the kit. 
    Locked In: The Drummer’s Mental Game is a deep, honest exploration of what really shapes great drumming when no one is talking about technique. Written and read by Dave Golder, this audiobook takes you inside the quieter side of musicianship—the part that happens in your attention, your decision-making, and your relationship with time itself. 
    Across twenty immersive chapters, you’ll discover why drummers rush under pressure, how ego creeps into fills you didn’t mean to play, why “doing less” can make you sound better, and how true groove is built far more in the mind than in the hands. From locking in with a bass player to understanding space, flow state, repetition, and performance mindset, this is a guide to the internal game that every drummer plays—whether they realise it or not. 
    This is not a book about showing off behind the kit. 
    It’s about what happens when you stop trying to prove anything… and start actually listening. 
    Calm, practical, and deeply reflective, Locked In will change the way you think about time, feel, and control—one beat at a time.
