I am here for Friends

About Me

.. I love all sorts of music, and believe in keepin' it live, so go to as many gigs as I am able. I play djun djuns and bougarabou with Drumvoice Orchestra, a drum group that performs African/Carribean drum rhythms. * * * * *I'm a member of Sons of the Desert.. The Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society. This involves meeting up with likeminded souls once a month, having a beer or several and watching the films of Laurel and Hardy on a big screen.. Heaven!
Just about every decent myspace layout
