If anyone else can appreciate this bittersweet instrumental about people falling in love before the inevitable end of the world (and likely each other), (...) Here's another song of the end of the world, in three languages, by this amazing songwriter/musician/singer: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reminder, there's a drum circle happening here today, I think I'll join. Don't have a hang drum though, only a djembe. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't been in a couple of years too, but you brought up drums this morning and I remembered that the regular monthly gathering is today, and I see synchronicities of this nature as prompts from the universe, so I went. Just came back. It's so much fun. More serious drum people than you and me drag in those dream drums that sound like the Big Bang, veritable monsters. And you get to play other people's drums because it all moves and rotates. And there's two dozen percussion toys available too, I just discovered my new favorite -- a thunder tube spring drum. One guy there has apparently studied voodoo music in Haiti and Cuba, so he sang invocations of various loa... We had a banjo and a flute too, and it's amazing how things work out spontaneously -- some of the improvisations were positively sublime. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
