A Different Drummer



Someone asked me today if I was a follower of Thoreau, the 19th century American naturalist, who wrote "if a man does not keep step with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." Well, I heard a different drummer tonight...The Southern Illinois West African Drum Ensemble at Booby's Beer Garden, drawn by the hypnotic beat while on an evening bicycle ride. The door-dude let me in to snap a few photos, and tap my toes awhile.
