008/100 Strangers

I was on a roll today. This is Steve Chavez. We met this afternnon at a bbq. He plays the marimba, an instrument I'd heard of but had never heard it! The marimba is a type of xylophone, and has a beautiful melodic sound. Steve started playing the drums at 18. Shortly after this he heard someone playing the marimba and he decided he wanted one! So he mentioned it to his brother who said lets go to Chiapas (In Mexico) and get you one! So they jumped into the truck headed off to Mexico found his first marimba. After that there was no looking back! He now owns 38! Steve had no problem with me taking his picture for my strangers project, infact very happy to help!

 

If you want to hear what the marimba sounds like, go and youtube Steve Marimba Chavez. It's a beautiful instrument.

 

Thank you Steve for being my #8 stranger and telling me a little of your fascinating life.
