They're full o' beans. Buncha fart blossoms-- we were gaslighted!

Thanks Jim!

HA! Come to MadTown this weekend and we can do it in harmony!

The ol' Woody Guthrie tradition :)

After the competing 1619 and 1776 Commissions, maybe I should launch a 2020 Commission to document this awful time :)

Thanks! I was inspired by a lot of great working folks.

Thanks, I'm probably too self critical. I don't do "music videos", and never even videotaped myself before the pandemic. I basically just sing into the iPhone. I much prefer playing live, which thankfully is happening again!

Thanks!

Thanks Jim!

Thanks, Lance. Perhaps the ideal would be Warren Zevon, who wrote a great song called "Lawyers, Guns and Money."

Thanks Lance. Perhaps people should start using a symbol for him-- on the order of 666 or something :)

Thanks! I'm not sure that "productive" equates to "good", but it gives me something to do. I don't know whether most people hone in on the lyrics like us, but it certainly doesn't hurt. I'll do that.

HA! Maybe; although I don't recall ever seeing a picture of him wearing one. Thanks for listening!

Thanks! I look forward to kickin' back in public soon!

Thanks! Where geographically do you work? I'm based in Wisconsin, but have done this in Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa as well.

I am in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. I am not a trained facilitator, and do this as a volunteer. I have accumulated a few drums and percussion instruments through the years and made some others with upcycled materials. I'm hoping to found a nonprofit community music society so I can get some funding for more instruments. There are so many people in our communities who could benefit from drumming but are on limited incomes.

I use 1x8 inch kids plasic frame drums by Remo, they're indestructible and last time I bought any, cost only about $12 US each, with a beater. Also shakers (some homemade) and tambourines. Good luck!

Thanks, Jeremiah! If you know any senior/disabled venues in the Wisconsin area that might be interested, feel free to pass this along.

+John Duggleby I'm sorry I don't know anybody in Wisconsin but if you were ever to expand into Minnesota I work with MRCI, which is filled with wonderful senior/disabled folks! I would love learning how to do what you do so I could share this experience with my folks. again just wonderful!

Where in Minnesota? I'm in Madison, and it might actually work out if I could do a few in a day, especially in southern MN or the Twin Cities area. I also do nine different musical programs for this age group (singing accompanied on string/percussion instruments). If you send me an email to me@johnduggleby.com I'd be happy to send you a flyer on y many programs for seniors/disabled. Thanks!
