The drummer for Bob Marley's band heard my weekly drum circle from his hotel room, and dropped by to compliment us and chat about West African master drummers.

Apparently, The Wailers are playing at the Paradise tonight.

I wonder how he would address foreign royalty...

I conveyed the story to my parents. My mother had an excellent startled look. Then she wanted to know what a drum circle was, and why anyone would want to play in it...

I am not entirely sure how to answer her question.

I said, "People sit and play African drums together. It's fun. It makes a nice sound." I'm not sure whether the answer made any sense to her or she just smiled and nodded.

That sounds like as good an answer as any. I suppose a brass band might also be an odd idea to some people...

(like me -- how can you do it without the woodwinds?)

Because you can't hear them anyway, of course. Or if you can, then you're not playing loud enough.

Clearly, you haven't stood in front of a small army of piccolos recently enough. Ugh.

Somehow, I don't think that's complimentary to woodwinds either.
