Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

swellnet drum circle pow wow continues rolling out Indian Drum Spirit.
Bigum Thanx crew!

"The meaning behind the drum is life, and to play it is to give life."
This life-giving power is why the drum is often used in healing ceremonies, Half says.

The story of the drum's origins varies from tribe to tribe, LaChance says.

One tale tells of a young woman whose family had been killed in a war, LaChance says. The spirits told her in a dream that if she hid in a lake for four days, she would be safe from the enemy.

On the fourth day, the spirits told her she could safely leave, so she did. The enemies did not see or harm her – it was as if she had become a spirit herself.
The spirits told her to come back to the lake for a gift to recognize her sacrifice. When she did, she saw a drum construct itself in the air before her.

The woman took the drum to her people.
"This gift will help us to heal, help us to prepare, help us to honour many things," she told them.

tbb shared how Running Bear is a Story of the Last 1722 S/E Indian Peoples overnite Hurricane.
This dreamtime story retells the First S/E East Coast Indian peoples account of 1500's Hurricane

No, not exactly, but relative to S/E Indian Culture as a recorded lifelike timetabled comparison.
(Pause!) Whatever overwhelming natural Seachange Spirit each of the crew feel is equally true!
tbb is trying to share that each heartfelt version rings equally true...there is nothing tricky here!

Mostly because as surfers we know exactly what Storm Events & Where / When that is in US!
Nothing really clever here...just a similar lived life from a Basher / drummer on a similar Oz coast.

Quite simply this is also exactly what it sounds like...crew will have no trouble decoding this dream!
tbb will share his lived example first...then share the expert historians decoding...
But neither are correct but both are the most correct decoding until better comes along & it will! Ok!

This Story is eerily similar to Running Bear Hurricane Story...
Sure > Can call it Little White Dove if ya like...
Near all Saltwater Seachange Dreamtime Moral odes!
Again this is relatively natural for a bodybashin' drummer to translate.

(Translation)
1500 After 4 day Hurricane > The Young women survived the Lightning + Thunder over the Lake.
The Young woman harnesses power from the Thunder & Lightning over the Lake inside her Drum
Her Elemental Story of Survival is harnessed within her Water Drum gifted to the Tribe.
Underlying theme being what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...
The young lady was sent as a scout to acclimatize new territory to populate.
Exactly as her later family / population die in similar tale on same Hunting ground...or similar!

This being her tribe moving into seachange low S/E coast > Welcome to Hurricane Alley!
Running Bear being the big 1722 Moonlight Hurricane Surge that flooded their future last tribe/s.
So these two songs already now pair as Start < > End of these similar Seaside Tribes...

tbb feels First Nation Welcome to Country Song/Dance are stoking Saltwater Stories.
Look at these dates...it stands to reason all are equally decoding more and more Dream-time stories.
Only because they are only now finally being shared in all aspects alongside other similar stories...
So Running bear (Song) Means little on it's own but as part of a greater creation series is decoded!

Crew can read right here how these two stories flesh out insane detail of Seaside settlements.
Watch & see just how easily these stories combo as a series that retells the bigger picture.
Just as East Coast creation Songlines are vines that string along the Milky Way constellation.
So too will Indian stories begin to link Songlines thru the Seascapes thru Song / Dance / Craft!

eg: Arnold Horshack naturally knows the power of Cultural music
Lots of work there tbb, how good is music, eh?

Blackers : Big Link Wray fan here TBB, good choice.
Some others that fit your theme...

Ya all see how this works...it's we the people that stoke it...we want it to fit...
Therefore each version will naturally reveal more storyline detail...
Before long another Start < > End of a Windy plains or mountain tribe in Song / Dance / Craft
Then these may link to sea change or Forest tribe songs & so on & so on.

Here's how this works...
Volcano > Smoke Rings > Storm Drums > Peace Pipe > Blow Kiss > Shot Gun > Resuscitation
https://www.hoboes.com/Politics/Prohibition/Notes/Shamanism/

Ya see how life itself flows deep from within to Drum for Sea & Dance for Rain from Sky
So read Lightning or Blow Kiss > can choose meaning from any varied extent...
Much like Aboriginal Afterlife...it's all within' the universal realm...we are lightning & Milky Way!
Simply need a broadminded open natural mindset to further decode these Dream Stories...
tbb is saying...there is no wrong or right just that as more tap into the universal the more that is.
Then these past stories come alive...much faster than imagined thru our broader mindset!
possibly helps tbb that he lives without mobile phones / emails....still a Hippie stuck in the 70's.
That's why tbb shares this is natural to apply the broad brush stroke!

Here tbb lets Indian Historians double down on the Power of these Dreamtime stories!
Each read similar and all collide at same point of time with equal authority.
So no matter what logic or theory each draw the same conclusions...no escaping the fact...(Natural!)
Simply read on...crew will get wot tbb means...each retell the same story even without purpose!
They are larger than life Epic Seachange Events too big to ignore!
Watch how a simle educational piece unravels that Dreamtime Drum Story...
Wot...ya think tbb is kidding...not on yer life...this is a top secret secret on decoding...let the vibe flow!!

24 Feb 2025 Water Drums by Nick Cesarz
(Note how the date is recent...it's happening! Ok! But equally note this is '70's Hippie trail > soon gone!)
So this is exactly the open mindset that crew can tap into...it don't sound crazy at all.

"Many Native Americans believed that their drums had the power of lightning and thunder inside. The beating of the drum was meant to get the attention of the gods and communicate with the spirits. It’s safe to say that these drums were essential to their spiritual and social lives!"

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
swellnet drum circle :
*Ya see how trippy that sounds but equally the best shit ya ever heard on the subject...correct! Yew!
This is the perfect example of yer open mindset to decode more first nation stories! Cool huh!
So please forgive tbb...can read he ain't at this Big Chief level yet...but crew can read the epic rewards.
Wanna read some more...Fuck Yeah...I mean Yes! Please...
..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"In my opinion, the most interesting of all the Native American drums are the water drums. The Iroquois tribe is known for its small wooden drum that has a tanned hide to beat on. Depending on how much water you put in, and how wet you get the coat the drum produces different sounds.

( Pause! Again...see how easy to decode the Chix Dream Story...as quick as that & will get smoother! )
Well maybe not...because many feel AI Age Verification will kill off any Alt imaginative decodes! Sad!
Like this in between world will be killed off...as big players boss the Log in content restriction.
Back to the story...

"Another tribe known for its water drums is the Yaqui. Yaqui water drums are made out of a gourd that’s cut in half and is placed in a basin of water. The shaman or drummer hits the gourd with a stick and the vibrations that are produced cause the water to resonate.

Another tribe known for its water drums is the Yaqui. Yaqui water drums are made out of a gourd that’s cut in half and is placed in a basin of water. The shaman or drummer hits the gourd with a stick and the vibrations that are produced cause the water to resonate!"

*It's clear to all that the young woman is sharing the history of the water drum.
It's also clear to us surfers...the bigger story is her tribe moving into Hurricane Alley...All say Aye!
It really is that simple...Too big too ignore! A reality check Wake up call shouts louder... That's Life!
But for how long...can't see this lasting or surviving the AI Age Verification Dumb Down.
Enjoy the dream run while it lasts....going going gone!

tbb will load up on these research gold mines...only tbb can't access {f}...crew can maybe enjoy this!
