It was a good night. I enjoyed it because I got to be the centre of attention for a whole night, plus Matt bought me pizza.
Hopefully I'll get to show off the results of their hard work and my stunning good looks...ahem...soon enough!
Just to add a bit of colour to this entry I have included this pic of Matt and a drum. Incidentally, does anyone know what sort of a drum this is? Dermo? Any ideas? I know enough not to call it a congo or a bongo....anyway, answers on post card. Actually, better than that - just leave a comment.

spelling wrong but it;s something like jenba. right?
Thanks Dermo! I'll Google it and see if I can nail it down.
Dan Royal will know since he's an African American Drummer!
Hi there,
the drum is a Djembe or Jembi drum. Rick and I bought one in Morocco and is currently being used as a table for the speakers!!
Ah ha! So that's what it is! I forgot you guys had one - maybe because it poses as a speaker stand. Thanks for your help.
Yeah it's a Dejembe.... Very common in West Africa where Dan is from. He has three in our living room. He'll give ya a lesson someday if you ever come back to Chicago!!
Love Rach
