Drum Circle Rant.........

Drifters, Loners, Hitchhikers, Strays, Artists, Rainbow types, Hippies, Loafers, Wannabe’s, Soul searchers, Dead Heads, Players, Fringe elements………We get em all. They show up at the Gallery in some way or another. They stay and sometimes work for their keep. We all end up sharing our lifes experiences around a meal or at the Drum Circle. This is mandatory as in a soup kitchen having to listen to a sermon. If you show up at the Gallery in this condition and stay you have to attend a Drum Circle. Sure many come who are right with the world, you know right in what they say you have to be right in….a good job, a mortgage, a family. But, you can have all this and still be searching for something.
Its surprising how many times people think that what we do is religious. They think that we are the fringe elements who are practicing some kind of spiritual something that they think is cool but they wouldn’t be caught dead coming. Somewhere in their lives they missed out on something that was socially acknowledged to all and they weren’t there. Call it a rant here but I got this from someone this week and so I thought I would put it into words. We’re just having fun drumming. Its our religion, outdoors with dancing and drumming and fellowship and all that kind of churchy stuff. But we’re real and it’s a big groove and we’re celebrating life brothers and sisters, life by the river. Come on up tomorrow night, don’t be scared.
