Thinking ahead to Sunday already.......

Wow, another few days of hot weather here. There saying 102 by Tuesday. Its supposed to be fall there buddy! Its really not too bad. We know the change is coming, its alot cooler in the morning. I'm off to another Friday field day here at work. Going up to some place we haven't been in awhile to see what we can see. Looking for fires too. Yea, its High Fire time here in the front country. And, its also Deer Season. All them chubby dudes driving around in their big four by fours looking for something to shoot. I'm not planning on having that on my list anytime soon. I love looking at nature! So, back to talking about drumming. I'm looking forward to the Sunday coming up. Even though its gonna be kinda warm, we'll get the sweat going. Its good for you to sweat everyday. It gets rid of the toxic stuff we carry around with us. Hey, and maybe even a dip in the river later on, now that would be cool. And I do mean COOL! That water has been pretty darn chilly as of late. Well, come on up and hang out with us this Sunday if you dare!! We saw this buck just last week!

A Day in the Life........

Its really something when you can be at work and just go right out the door and your looking right at a mountain covered in brush and you can smell the fragrance of the front country. It has a distinct smell and it’s sweet. Manzanita, Chamise, Oak trees , the river and the all the dry grasses. I drive to work every day from the valley below and when I finally arrive and get out of my car the first thing I do is take a deep breath. Drumming is tomorrow nite and we are always wondering who will be there. It’s one of the draws, who will show and what will they be playing. Guitar, Drum or Drums, or any other instruments. We’ve probably had just about everything that makes noise come to the circle. We had a guy that used to bring a really BIG marching band drum. It was so loud and he played it with mucho gusto. So loud that several times we had to give him the hold it down signal and this is rare! Coincidently his name was Eric. I called him earache. Well, I’m guessing that he won’t be coming tomorrow night, but hey you never know. I’m glad that all of you up there in Washington are reading this and it would be really cool if you walked into the circle at that time of Sunday night when we’re ripping along with a big gum chewing groove that’s calling all dancers to the floor and all drummers to their drumtops. Now that would be cool!! See you all tomorrow night eh……………

Been getting out alittle for work. There hasn't been much action this year as far as fire goes. This is good I guess, though we like alittle action. Now, as far as action goes, Drumming has been good and this Sunday we'll be having a little get together before with Ice Cream. Celebrating my birthday as another year passes by like lighting. Come on up and catch up on us and our new ways and some old ways that are left too. See You there!

Well, there you are! I know some keep tabs on us and what we're up to and thats very cool I think! I just wish I'd hear from my friend in Iowa. We're on Facebook too you know. Drumming has been moving forward every week with us core members there or not. That was what we envisioned way back in our founding times, that the Drum Circle lives on its own and becomes a mighty force that gathers friends of like minds together with music and love. Nature's in there too of course. We always drum outside unless it rains and it hasta rain pretty hard! So, I'm sure glad your checking in on us and me and all that. I'll be there this Sunday with my drum, my camera and lots of desire to drum and be outdoors in the night and under the stars with my friends of the drum............see you there!
