I want to thank you Brian for the exhilarating experience of sharing a story or two at BLTC last Friday night. What fun! I can hardly wait to get a story night started on Bainbridge and loved witnessing how story bridges the generations. No generation gap in that room that night. Thank you for inviting me to participate and thank you for your drumming and sacred presence. djm
