No, we’re not really coming to your neighborhood, well, not any time soon. Our neighbors are in the Indianapolis Symphony, and Tony and I decided to have a little fun and showcase our tuba and didgeridoo skills for the children on our block. As you can imagine, it was quite the draw. I then hopped on and played some Tuba and Tony taught me how to play Amazing Grace, good times.. If you know anyone looking for a Tuba Didg duet, we’re your guys!

I recently returned from a mission trip to India and Nepal with a team from our church. We went on the trip with ServLife International (the mission organization I work for) We traveled to ServLife’s ministry campus In Bihar, India to help with the annual leadership conference that takes place there and to provide spiritual, administrative, and logistical support to the ServLife team and children’s orphanage there. We also spent a few days in Nepal on the way back and got to see some of ServLife’s ministries there as well. I will be posting more pics. and video from the trip in future posts.

I wanted to share this little clip I recorded in a music shop in Kathmandu, Nepal, of the owner playing a setup with tabla and madal drums. Pretty cool… (Found this site where you can play tablas online, give it a go)

A few weeks back, I (Steve) had the opportunity to sit in as guest percussionist with a local Indianapolis band, Ashworth. We played a show down in Louisville, Kentucky, at O’Shea’s Irish Pub. It was a great night of music, and we ended up playing until about 2:00 AM (got back to Indy about 6 AM, Adam was the trooper at the helm on the way back.) Bill and Marissa, good friends from Indy, made the journey down to enjoy some of the show and bring some Indianapolis respresentation.

Ashworth just released a new album called, DOWNTOWN, and you can purchase it online. Hear some of their music on the Ashworth MySpace Page.
