Koach Baruch, I've long been an admirer of your work and your spirit, singing your inspired songs often. I'm delighted to hear how much we have in common, as a trombonist who also fell into drumming. My usual protest instrument is actually trombone, playing with the Unpresidented Brass Band in Portland Oregon, but in my spiritual work I've found dunbek, frame drum, and shaker eggs have added wonderfully to my embodied Jewish prayer practices. Also audiology issues, as a patient not a practitioner: stapendectomies in both ears and Widex hearing aids in both ears. i feel closer than ever, and send my love, admission, and deep respect, and look forward to hearing and learning more. Baruch haShem, Xaiim Iaaqov ben David, hjpatterson23@gmail.com
