Tuesday I go to St Michaels Day school for first time. I have been getting ready. I think I am ready of sorts. this exploration has opened new doors for me personally and I think I may turn down the path of the study of world fusion percussion. I definitely want at aleast a little more drumming on my djembe. What is it about our culture, its bigotry, that prevented me from learning about the great Babatunde Olatunji until just a few years after his death. I hope my world culture circle will be one little step in a new better direction.
I have my own djembe drum now from Ghana hand carved with village scenes including a mother and child by one of the few women drum makers. Dorothy M. says the drum will have good juju for me. I hope so. I have yet to make my kids cajonitos - little box drums. This weekend !!!
