Drummer

The Drifters are an American pop and R&B/soul vocal group. They were originally formed as a backing group for Clyde McPhatter, formerly the lead tenor of Billy Ward and his Dominoes in 1953. The second group of Drifters, formed in 1959 and led by Ben E. King, were originally an up-and-coming group named The Five Crowns. After 1965 members drifted in and out of both groups and many of these formed other groups of Drifters as well. Over the succeeding decades, several different bands, all called the Drifters, can trace roots back to these original groups, but contain few—if any—original members.–Wikipedia

When we destroy nature we diminish our capacity to sense the divine, to understand who God is and what our own potential is and duties are as human beings. RFK Jr.

I was consuming last night, broke a tooth. Enthusiastic consumer.
Sow and piglets
Mother and children. Sentient beings. Nothing good in store but a meal is a meal, the present moment gratifying. Don’t think about tomorrow?
