Are ya ready?  Well, I was poking around, and was reminded of my love pf steel drums.  I was introduced to them in the late 70s when a group of drummers called the St. Croix Steel Drum Orchestra started appearing at my favorite little (and I mean little - it would seat about 50 people) listening club called Poor David's Pub on McKinney Avenue in Dallas.  There were 13 drummers in this troup.  When they all got in the room with their drums, there was hardly room for the audience.  But, we all squeezed in, and dared anyone to play darts.  It was always a magnificent evening of music.

So I found this demonstration of how the drums are made in modern day.  They used to be made with just plain old steel drums.  Now, it's evidently an art form.

Then, I found this steel drum rendition of La Bamba.

I hope you like it.
