Now i know, the great rhythm of your writing comes from those drumming days. You have lived, and are living still, the drum beats of old. What a life.

Oh, wow, playing with the gods, incredible and why did I not know these stories in SF...? Makes me wonder who I was. But I know now, and what amazing experiences. I might have said, "WOW, you should write about these!" So glad you did. More, more.....

And I didn't know much of your Texas childhood before Jim, the depth of your command in the kitchen, your art talents!

Wow, amazing and fortuitous to play with masters, and you were so young. Wonderful writing.

I wrestle with that in the final of these drumming posts.
