May 27th 2020

So this Saturday is considered in our circle to be a pretty sacred holiday… and that is good ole DRONE DAY! The last Saturday in May is reserved as a day to celebrate and an invitation to be mesmerized by sonic inquiries into the most sustained of notes, the slowly evolving, unhurried wisdom of the long form sound excursions. I confess to be less of an expert and more a casual observer, that ever so often gets pulled along by it’s forceful tide. So here’s a few selections that dabble in those realms and maybe help you get your feet wet and invite you to wade a little deeper. Thanks always!
