More About 
DrumSongStory 

This is a totally flexible format wherein I mix a little of everything I do to create a 45-60 minute performance custom tailored to each audience. Depending upon  what I pull out of my DrumSongStory bag this program can be a celebration of creativity, language arts, multi-Culturalism, nature, tolerance, etc. Or, it can be adapted to whatever theme you might be working with.

Featuring -

Songs: From a repertoire of over 300, a lifetime of subjects.

Stories: From all over the world featuring drums and cool sound effects instruments as well as audience participation.

Interesting story: This young lady volunteered to help me at the CT Storytelling Fest in April of 2000.  

On 10/4/00 I performed DrumSongStory at Lyme Consolidated School.  Out of an audience of several hundred students picked her to volunteer again on the same instrument! 

Of course I didn't have a clue of recognition. I think her name is Amanda Sibley (I hope I got it right). Thanks Amanda! you can be in my band any day!!!
