Aztec, New Mexico: Drums
I recently revisited Aztec, New Mexico, and ..... took a conga drum lesson!
Yup, at Crash Music, which I talked about when I was last in Aztec.
George, a career music teacher, gives drumming lessons every Saturday and Monday.

I had never had a drumming lesson. I don't read music. Have never played an instrument. But it was all fine. George gave me a little one-on-one before things got going with the rest of the students, and it was too much fun. If you're visiting, check it out - he's got the drums for you to use.

Being rootless, I won't be investing in my own conga drum any time soon, but I've already called my daughter to reclaim my djembe drum, a long-ago Christmas present that I loved, but never put to the use I dreamed of. When I sold my house and moved on, I passed it to her kids. She is delighted to give it back on to me.

This is me getting into the ritmo:
OK, yes, a lie. That is a killer drummer named Jennifer Rojas.
