Drums and the Full Moon!
I’ve had the pleasure of attending a few neat drumming events in the past few weeks. I really think I’m a natural drummer. Pretty soon I’m going to be as good as these guys. Don’t worry, once I learn how to play, I’ll be happy to give you lessons. Probably starting next week or so…
Ok, maybe I have a little more to learn than I thought. I have trouble moving my hands this fast unfortunately. Really though, I feel inspired, it’s so fun to play! And they don’t even care if you suck, which is even better.
The next question I’m sure you want to ask is “what do I play if I’m a little kid?! Those drums are bigger than my head!” (Like a la bamba burrito is) Anyways, to answer your pressing question… You play pots! There are tons of little stations all over library mall like the ones above that people who are a little shy, or just plain old little, can play without being too high up and the center of attention.

I feel like this clock has been on library mall forever and ever. Definitely as long as I can remember. Anyways, here’s a random question for you, my dear readers… Why do I automatically call library mall ‘library mall’ instead of ‘the mall’. Is there another ‘mall’ type of area in Madison that I’m not aware of? Cause this is the only one that I can think of so far.
Scene change! We are now out at Lake Farm Park at a full moon drum circle! Above you should be seeing a nifty little candle in cute mason jar. Is this an endearing kind and wonderful background for our event, or is this going to turn into some sort of ghostly evening where we see vampires and werewolves? I’ll never share my secrets. You just had to be there…
At this point there were only a few drummers left playing, but you can see the gorgeous full moon above them. It was cloudy much of the evening, so we were all pretty excited when the moon finally decided to show its fool face. Earlier in the evening when I was being lazy (a.k.a I didn’t have my camera out yet) there were probably more like 30 drummers, with tons of people around watching and eating.
It was a lovely evening, maybe I’ll have to go and buy myself a drum now!
