 *What:* Pittsburgh's Third Annual RiverBeat interactive hand-drumming
cruise, with a theme of "Three Rivers, One Rhythm."

*Who:* *Jim Donovan*, drummer and founding member, Rusted Root

Dave Matthews Band, Jewel, Grateful Dead and others),
www.jimdonovanmusic.com; *Elie Kihonia*, International Master Drummer/

Company (Pittsburgh-based African cultural understanding organization),

elder, www.rainboweagle.com. And of course, YOU!! (no musical experience

*Why:* To bring together people of various ages, cultures, races and
religions to build community and make music as one. To release stress,
increase immune functioning and energy levels, and engender a sense of
belonging, as only large group drumming circles can; to inspire inner
transformation through a low-cost, 'hands on' and contagiously fun
interactive musical experience. To honor one of Pittsburgh's greatest
assets: our three rivers. To continue to assist Pittsburgh in its emerging
identity as a leading edge east coast location for drum circles, a
flourishing national trend (see last week's NPR feature
story<http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5630542>).

Bank of the Monongahela River, Station Square, Downtown Pittsburgh
