I used to live near a huge urban park and in a special spot, there was a drum cirlce every sunday afternoon. I am not a drummer, but it was fun and intresting to time my walks to go by during the cirlce. Quite a lot of talent on all sorts of drums. And rythmic / devotional dancing. And lots of herbal sacraficing it appeared (and smelled of). Lots of people apparently living in their vans would roll up and unload their drums, and all. Looked and felt like 1967. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
