So, Dax started drum lessons yesterday! And it wasn't just any drum lessons. . .he started West African and Caribbean drums (the conga and the steel drums). It was SO MUCH fun to watch!
I called the school and they said that they usually don't start kids until they are seven. I said that I totally understand, but that Dax's teacher had recommended that I call. Then the teacher said that he would give Dax a trial lesson. . . .
Well, the trial lesson was a hit!!! The teacher was VERY impressed with Dax's natural rhythm (who knew) and he said that he would LOVE to teach Dax!
Dax was so excited! I am so excited! I cannot wait to see where this takes us over the years. Hays is very green with envy (but he is playing the cello this year) and I'm sure Tiki would be, too, if he had any idea!
I'll keep everyone posted on how my little Jamaican is doing. . .we may head to the Caribbean in a few years with our drums and set out our hat and see what kind of cash we can make! It is kind of ironic that when Andy was telling me for the first time that he loved me it was to the distant rhythm of a steel drum band in Honduras.
