My husband and I made flutes from bamboo stalks years ago in Venice, CA, and sold them to the tourists for $5.00 on the beach. He did the hard part of taking a steel rod, heating it over an open flame, and then searing the holes into the bamboo in the proper place for sound. I took another rod, wrapped sandpaper on it, and smoothed out the innards of the flute.

At the Drum Circle Saturday night, Skye (my daughter) and her friend, Jess, went inside the circle to dance as the drums were being played. She also played someone's drum and was very good. In fact, when she was through, the guru drummer dude bent over with his hands prayer-like and said to her, "My child, you can have it. It's yours." And gave her his handmade drum. She's still floating on air. {this is a pic I found of some folks in Canada online; the Drum Circle we have each night in the summer is huge.}
A steady stream of festival-goers filed through the Jimi Hendrix Traveling Museum to get a taste of the late guitarist's legendary career. This and the drum circle plus other events were part of Asheville's (NC) Bele Chere festival, held annually and billed as the 'Largest Free Outdoor Street Festival in the Southeast'.
