- Drumming...oh yes, drumming...a voyage of notes, heartbeats and another world of shamans and smiles from different walks of folk. I have storytold with the drums, around a bonfire in the fall with the crispness of the night touching everytime I stepped from the warmth of the fire. It is a very special feeling to match words, heartbeat and story.

Marjorie Shaefer - a.k.a. - Mother Goose said… - Hi Patti,
When I was in fifth grade, I was given a violin to play which would not stay tuned. I struggled with it for two years, then gave up. Maybe if I had a drum...
Nice site,
Marjorie

Carlos Xavier said… - Patti, I really enjoyed your story about wanting to become a drummer.
My tale: on my own I was able to borrow the one and only flute in my high school. I was a less than keen clarinet student at the time. That flute was a terrible instrument, but enough to plant a seed that would grow and last many years.
This year I re-learned the doumbek (Middle Eastern drum) and played it in a stage version of a novel by an Iranian author. That spurred an interest in playing bongo drums, of all things, which I have taken up with great enthusiasm.
Perhaps, someday our tales will cross, and we can thump a drum or or two together.

I look foreward to seeing you again soon, too. Is James all better? I know he's been out of the hospital awhile.

Frank Lanzer said… - Great page! I love the content, arrangement, and colors. So your Dad is still active doing chaplain work; that's fantastic. I just finished a six week biblical storytelling class with 15 students. It was energizing and I enjoyed listening to their stories and learning from them as well. -- Frank

I always wanted to be a drummer....
When I was in fifth grade, it was the time when you could sign up to be part of the band. I went to the meeting all prepared to say "I want to be a drummer." However, when Mr. Stetz, the band teacher got out the instruments and introduced what our choices were, he didn't mention drums… Continue
