Rep Power: 5741 |  Drum Circles
I dont how many of you know what drum circles are, but we have these all the time around here. I went to one tonight and was just blown away. The video doesnt give it justice. These things are unscripted and unrehearsed for the most part. You have a drum and want to join just pull up a chair or a piece of dirt and join in. Sometimes they can get 40 to 50 going all at once. I know I know it's a hippie fest, but everyone I know thats been to one loved it. Just thought Id share:::

It's great to see people getting together to have a good time. I say - More drum banging = less head banging. One question though does a drum circle in the middle of a corn field form a crop circle?

I bet even rod and more are closet hippies  .

I even remember some of those times. P.S. The wife was a flower child also but she likes the way life is now. | |

But it is done on Friday evenings for a couple of hours. The drummers were allowed to keep it banging. The city's official slogan.... "Asheville,,, any way you like it"..... lol
