Tell me whose hair is more frightening. It is the dreads or one of the two women with the sunglasses on. I pick the woman on the left.This was the Asheville drum circle on Saturday night. I was going back to my truck to dump the camera off and they were playing at one of the stages. Well I had to stop a watch for a while as they are pretty darn good. Quite a variety of people in the drum circle. Black, white, native American--a very old Eskimo woman, a woman with downs syndrome and her Mom all playing and having a great time. Although not the leader of the group Mr. Dread was clearly the one who was the best, in my opinion. After I went and watched some of Grace Potter, who had a massive crowd, I went back to the drum circle. Had to get back to some primal tribal feeling music. Watching a good drum circle is a blast. It has a way of striking to the core of who we are if you just go with the drumming. How these guys played for a couple hours Saturday is amazing as it was so blasted hot on the street. I wonder how much water they went through.
