The Creator wants us to Drum. (God) wants us to corrupt the world with drums, dance, and chants. We've already corrupted the world with power and greed, which has gotten us nowhere. Now's the time to corrupt the world with drum, dance, and chants.----Babatunde Olatungi, Nigerian master drummer

Working on Re-Establishing DFP on West Coast




















Recently I spent some time painting 40 buckets I purchased with 40 pairs of sticks. I also designed a letterhead, made business cards, and mailed them out to local elementary schools and congregations in Oregon and Washington. It will take a lot of work to get my DFP program re-established on the West Coast after 7 years doing the programs based on the East Coast.
