PLAYING THE CONGAS

Now the therapeutic value of pummeling the skin of a drum is hard to beat, and great big wooden congas are the best hand drums of all, though it takes time to get the knack of the slaps and bass tones etcetera. Learning with my wonderful tutor Robin Jones was scarey and delightful - how amazing to be taught something as tricky and direct as this. Playing with the band is bliss too.
