I am … unhindered by talent

I’ve long coveted a good hand drum, finding myself drawn to them in stores and often coming close to (but never quite) purchasing one. Joe Alia picked up a Djembe a few months ago in the Cities, and I’ve completely fallen in love with it and really enjoy playing it while Joe solos on the sax. Our little combo has recently been joined by Imre Tuba (new this year in Math) and he’s been playing Joe’s drum leaving me lost and bereft :-). Thus I want a drum for Xmas!

Brian Ohs pointed me to Mother Rhythm right up the road in Bemidji, MN. Brian and some of his friends have been buying some cool didgeridoos there, but he also has an excellent selection of interesting drums, including lots of cool looking djembes.

Now I’m going to go off and rub my hands together in gleeful anticipation…

Currently listening to “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)” by the mighty Otis Redding. No djembes, but great stuff.
