All I mostly made at first was discordant NOISE, I just could not surrender to the correct Beat. I did not have enough time to “Practice”, I was always afraid I would drive my Lady, of my Neighbors, nuts. But, now, now I am always alone, so it does not bother any-body.

I now have graduated from 2, 4, 6, 8, to twelve tongues! It is like I learned to play the twelve-stringed guitar. My Kudo’s to its maker: With a few pieces of Rare Wood, a few saw strokes, a masterpiece is created!…. And my friend, and expert at finding rare wood tongue drums for me to play on, Eddie WOOD, good name, Huh? Thank You Eddie WOOD…….I am going to Play and Play, o and on, until I die…..
