Layne Redmond - Percussionist, Teacher, Bee Priestess

4. You're welcome

You might want to look for her music, especially the album Invoking Aphrodite. The chants are from her research into Ancient Greece, and are chanted in the original Greek. It's quite interesting and powerful. Her research also helped her discover that those ancient drummers were the keepers of the bees. I think all of her blogs are still up, and linked to her main site. There's one just on the Bee Priestess, called "Sacred Path of the Bee."

I never met her, though I did trade emails a couple of times. She was always sweet and happy to converse (I think I made her day in one of them when I mentioned I had played her album "Since the Beginning" on public radio; she truly appreciated the airtime.) Yet, I felt touched by her work, and realizing that she is gone is still difficult to believe. Her music inspired and just plain entranced.
