#2 is fabulous - you can really feel the energy! (But where are the cherry blossoms? ;-P)

I'm with Sweet, pic no 2 is great! Why the fuzzies? were you just caught up with all that drumming and moving to the rhythm? What kind of camera were you using? BTW...is that Elvis on the extreme right seat in the front row? :-)>

Great show bsteph! I like your cropping in the 3rd pic best. Looked like a fun day...do you have anymore to show?

I am, therefore I create.......

Whats Conker season? I'm still waiting for National Shag Holliday!! I realize these "blokes" have sicks but.... Michelle-Planning on seing more drumming today. All-I think I can get better seats today plus it may have been the limit of the digital focus. Thanks for all the help. Bsteph

I agree with Alpha on the third pic. Yeah, what's conker season? I remember reading an Enid Blyton story when I was a wee kid about "conkers" -- kids stringing chestnut seeds (?) and smashing them against each other like wrecking balls, and the one with the surviving conker wins. Is that it, Jordy? I thought it was purely fictional, like her talking golliwogs and brownies. (*

OHHHH. That's what a conker is. Makes sense. There used to be a toy which consisted of two plastic balls attached by a string, you would then bang the spheres against each other. I wonder if that is how Jordy spends his spare time. No wonder he wants it to be a national holiday. Bsteph

lol - yup, you've got the conkers thing sorted!! Conkers are the hard-shelled fruit from the horse-chestnut tree, and you do indeed string them and hit them off each other. You can cheat by pickling them in vinegar first to harden them up......lol Bsteph, the toy you are on about are 'clackers' - the object is to keep them bouncing off each other for as long as possible. Bit of a skill thing, like a yo-yo really. (",)

Wow, clackers... that takes me back several years... I think I still have mine intact. Nice peach marbled ones. :-)
