• My YouTube page with over 100 videos

• A scanning hobbyist website I did a few years back

Djembe in the park, 25 June 2008

Monument Valley Park, Colorado Springs

My latest obsession is learning to play the djembe (the healing drum).

I started this in late April 2008.

I play three made in Ghana, W. Africa.

A 12"x24" djembe, a 10"x16" djembe, and a 8"x14" djembe.

I also have a very tiny travel djembe.
