Thanks, BB!!!
Now that d_c has made her first steps toward playin' steel drums, I thought I'd give ya a link to a cool steel drum website (even has instructions on how you can make your own pans if you're so inclined!)...

While this story is chiefly about a concert from a steel drum band at the University of Missouri visiting the nearby town of Belleville, Illinois Friday night (March 7), it has some great background on the history of steel drums...enjoy!
