Re: [69ATTENDEES] hand drums?

given the vagaries of getting instruments hand-carried on airplane 
cabins, I hesitate to pack any more than a travel guitar or a uke.  
small but quiet.  But if I know there would be some interest in jamming, 
I might take a chance and bring my well-traveled and nearly 
indestructible mostly plastic Ovation...

For Vancouver and future meetings, might I suggest that anyone who feels 
up to packing/carrying an instrument do so, and we will look for 
opportunities for ad hoc musical aggregations?
