He played <SPAN class="SpellE">viole</SPAN> and violin with Avatar for several nights during the war, for the dancers, plus joined in drum circles most evenings. He plays several types of drums and is an excellent teacher as well. He currently teaches a <SPAN class="SpellE">doumbek</SPAN> class attended by me, Lady <SPAN class="SpellE">Merowyn</SPAN>, and Miguel de la Trebuchet, among others. I have faith that you will enjoy his presence very much, as I have over the years. Oh, and he has a funny, rapier-quick wit.
