My favorite

One of my favorite parts of the local 4th of July parade is when the stainless steel drums are being played! I know that stainless steel drums have other purposes, but I think its so cool to hear them being played like an instrument! I've always enjoyed those soothing sounds. Ever since I was a young teenager and visited the country of Jamaica, I had a love for the steel drum! I have always had a love for music and really enjoy it when people are able to use trash cans and other materials to create awesome sounds! I have just one rhythm in my step and it's just a simple boom chick sound! I can't do anything else, so I admire those that can! I know their brains have to work differently then mine! My left hand follows my right hand, not matter what we are doing! When I played the piano back in the day- my left hand never could keep a separate beat or rhythm. No matter how hard I practiced I could never get it. I took lessons for so many years and have ZERO talent for it now. I am sad that I can't just play my heart out. As an adult, I'm a much better student. I wonder if I would be better now? Maybe I should google piano lessons for my area!!!
