About
DrumSongStory
|
This is a totally flexible format wherein
I mix a little of everything I do to create a 45-60 minute performance
custom tailored to each audience. Depending upon what I pull out
of my DrumSongStory bag this program can be a celebration of creativity,
language arts, multi-Culturalism, nature, tolerance, etc. Or, it can be
adapted to whatever theme you might be working with. |

Interesting story: This young
lady volunteered to help me at the CT Storytelling Fest in April of
2000.
On 10/4/00 I performed DrumSongStory at Lyme Consolidated
School. Out of an audience of several hundred students picked her
to volunteer again on the same instrument!
Of course I didn't have a clue of recognition. I think her name is
Amanda Sibley (I hope I got it right). Thanks Amanda! you can be in my
band any day!!! |
