finding a new home to dance & to drum .. the quote from Mickey Hart seemed to fit oh so well .. the Tin Can Gypzee tribal dancers in a swirl of color.. such talented dancers, they can play some 'mean' rhythms on their drums .. many thanks to the UUC for providing indoor, A/C space for our passions to flourish .. the 3rd Saturday of the month, we (The Circle of Rhythm Drum Gathering) shall be there .. so .. if you are in Central Florida, USA around that time.. Flickr mail me .. will send directions .. we always have extra percussion instruments to share .. it was a wonderful night of dancing, drumming, sharing the lead on drumming, following different patterns, having a cup of coffee or some cold water, cookies and brownies .. but, most of all - sharing a deep friendship & welcoming new souls ..
