"Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me." ~ Levon Helm
Several years ago, while on a school break, Bruce and I tried to attend the drum circle on Siesta Key. Actually, we DID attend the drum circle, but it was pouring out, so it was held under a pavilion, rather than on the beach at sunset. Not exactly the same atmosphere or attendance. We finally made it to a fair-weather gathering - what fun! Festive, flamboyant, loud, raucous, multi-generational - packed! I'm no good at estimating crowds - but Bruce figures about 4 to 5 hundred people, in various stages of dress, and with all kinds of instruments - including drums! It was - fantastic - that's the best word for it. I'm so glad that we did it, but I think that once was enough. It took us about 45 minutes just to leave the parking lot when it was done. But - it was a great experience!

This looks like loads of fun and a very positive atmosphere! And all this under the golden sun of Florida! Dream!
ReplyDeleteI love how you captured the golden evening light! All pictures are beautiful, but the last picture is just utterly fantastic! Wow!
Thanks Nancy - it was a blast! I must give credit where credit is due though. Bruce took that final picture - I was too busy dancing!
Delete:-D
Delete4 or 5 hundred people! What an amazing event. I would have loved to have been there too!
ReplyDeleteIt really was a "rhythm of life" kind of experience!
