A-hey my friends and relatives:

1.)A young man recently asked my most respected Elder how to make a drum in a good way.
I will share my Elders answer with all of you, a few lines a day. His words speak to so much more than drum making.

2.) Thanks to the one who keeps sending me anonymous one word comments. I choose to delete them because they contain no relevant information.
The people up here in the Northwest are so kind that it is good to remember that not everyone in my circle wishes the best for me and that helps to keep me in balance.
To that anonymous one I say this: "For some reason you hold me responsible for your anger and pain. I regret that and I pray for all good things to happen in your life, whoever you are."
