Art Experience #3

I was in Hawaii with my family and as we walk along the streets of Maui, I begin to hear this extremely festive music and came to find out quickly that it was the tune of the little mermaid. The high pitch clangy was extremely tropical and brought a sense of relaxation as well. It was the sound of steel drums and they were making such an impact on me that I ran over and asked the guy if he could teach me, I was 10. So, he gave me the drumsticks and basically let me go to town banging away until my craving was diminished. Then once again he began to play a perfect rendition "what a wonderful world". Ever since then, steel drums have been my favorite instrument! Check it out on youtube (steel drums/under the sea)
