[Rhodes22-list] Slim..or anyone....who knows

[elle]

thanks, Slim...that's about what I thought.

I played percussion in college & in the orchestra & stumbled upon one of these groups over in the city. It sounds like fun...I just wanted to make sure that it was what I thought it was. 

Think I'll sign up & go to one of the 'circles'......coould be fun.
