I became Grey Wolf
through dreams ... At 60 I started making drums
By family tradition, I am
part Cherokee and I can feel it in the way I relate to the drums I make
I
am 72 years old and I have made more than 5,000 drums with a variety of tribes, the
Boy Scouts, a camp for blind children and a variety of organizations.
As Grey Wolf was chosen for me through dreams so was the octagon shape for
my drums
I try to move with the flow while making only good ripples while
a guest in this life.
I am not social. I don't belong to any clubs or groups
I make elk rawhide,
high-quality drums and drum-making kits for very reasonable prices.
The
more drums, the more people drumming, the better the world.
I find my direction in the world created for me by the great spirit. If I
live another ten or fifteen
years and continue to make drums, my drum-making legacy will be substantial
My epitaph might read ...
"If I planted a tree in the morning, made a drum in
the afternoon
and
died in the evening, it would be a good day."
Namaste ... In the Spirit,
Cliff - Grey Wolf |
