hello steemit community... along with being an artist i'm also a musician + sacred drummer...
**'peace is in me' is a beautiful song written for voice + drum by my dear friend David Campbell.... who is an amazing song-maker who hails from Guyana, South America and now lives on the west coast of Canada... he has written 100's of songs and poems, spoken word and is a wonderful visual artist... **
When i first heard David play this song, i fell to my knees in tears... as the lyrics hold a lot of meaning for me... i have sung this song at many different gatherings including memorials and funerals...
here on one of my videos, i'm singing 'peace is in me' through my sacred drum, called 'laughing wolf' - which is a 27-inch frame drum made of steam bent red oak and goat hide... the hide is so thin and sensitive, one can sing or chant through it.... as it holds a lot of resonance and spirit... i also call her my 'singing drum'... she is also known as a 'wind drum' - as you can breathe on the hide and she will sound...
so, i hope you enjoy my sharing today...
and i always welcome your comments,... thanks for taking the time to have a listen...
brightest blessings, weaver x (((o)))
