The 35th Watts Drum Festival was a multi-cultural experience

Simon rodia mural in watts — Simon Rodia spent 33 years creating the towers in his back yard. I wonder what he would think of this mural of his face? Another portrait shows him as a working man in blue coveralls. In it his face is thinner and he looks very European, specifically Italian.

The Watts Towers have been on my list of places to visit and then last week I noticed that there was a drum festival going to be held at the Towers. It was a perfect combination and I ended up with too many photos for one post. So here is the 35th Annual Watts Towers Day of the Drum. (I will post photos and more information about the Rodia Towers tomorrow. You will be surprised…so tune in!)
