Soooo great to read all the Steve reports….can I be a Steve too..or a Stevette? I’ve only been able to do mini mini facilitations with mini people recently, loving it and hoping to get back to my regular circles one day soon. 
Lots of hugs to all of you,
Lulu 🎶🥰🎶

Music is what feelings sound like.

Aloha, Radar!
 
Still remember you and your boy and his goggles! It was a vintage year to
be at the Playshop. Was that also the year of Fred and "Sky - KING!"?
 
I'm thrilled that you're both still at it, in your own ways.
 
My plans to 'retire' from DCF-ing were hastened when I 'crashed' (fell at
home; not found for two days) and Parkinson's started making its presence
felt.
 
COVID lockdown would have put the kybosh on it, as well.
 
I'm mostly ground-floor and armchair bound. I had to leave the Taiko group
I helped to found; I still ZOOM with the hand-drumming group using a Meinl
travel cajon. Both are in York - 30 miles away.
 
Thanks for being on the ball, Steve!
 
Yours drummingly,
 
~ Steve

Our Tuesday evening drum circle is about to transition to the beach any time now. We have been meeting at a first nations church here in the east side since the lockdown. We had to keep it on the down low for a year because too many people were showing up and the last thing we needed was the cops to come and bust us. Things are better now and we have a great group of people that love to drum. How about everybody else. What’s up?

Bloody Hell, Jon!
 
I say, steady on old chap!
 
(Typically British blustering batting away of sincerely-expressed
compliments on account of having nowhere to process them, put them, file
them and keep them)
 
Actually I do have somewhere to put them: The MacTavish had her 'Victory
Wall'; I have my ' Book of Me', in which I record such compliments for
later consideration, and an ego 'top-up' or prop-up when needed.
 
I thank you, and reciprocate your blessings, Jon.
 
Yours humbly,
 
~ Steve
