Getting super drum-geeky: Percussive Arts Society

So, in the interest of furthering my historical research and connecting with other drum history geeks, I signed up for a membership in The Percussive Arts Society (PAS).

Since retiring, I've been casting about for Something To Do.

I can't sing properly right now (and don't know if I can sing at a professional level again, more on that later). I have more limits on my physical energy than I used to, and I don't want to spend my so-called golden years (UGH -- that monicker just makes me SQUIRM) just sitting around.

SO I decided to go down the drum history rabbit hole and pursue deeper research on my favorite drum topic. What comes of it I can't yet guarantee. But I'm diving in.

I'm hoping that PAS will help connect me with other drum history geeks.

I am also entertaining the notion of attending PASIC. It's just a twinkle in my eye for now, but if I COULD attend some November, who'd want to meet me there? I'd be looking for cheap housing and food (and seeing how public transit in Indy is, because I'm THAT gal) before I take a leap.

Anyway, I'm not committing to anything, and it might not happen for another year at least. But it's in the hopper.

If any of my Drum Geek people want to chat about possibilities, please contact me here or on Facebook Messenger.
