Wednesday, June 10th, Shinar performed the second of six scheduled free performances as a part of Houston Public Library's Summer Reading Program's music concert series coordinated by the MoShows.com Entertainment.
After a brief performance of romantic, jazz, showtunes, oldies, and reggae and even country music, Shinar shares with the audience the history of the steel drum, how it is made, how to make one yourself and then pulls guests from the audience to play accompany him on the bass drum.
The four photos here were taken on June 10th at his performance in the coffee shop of the Downtown Houston Library. Shinar is shown in 2 photos demonstrating how to make your own steel drum and in the remaining shots he is seen with audience members Cesar Rodriquez and Daniel Wilson (see photo labels) learning a new skill playing the large bass steel drum while Shinar sings and plays a self made steel set with 32 notes! Interested persons can see 5 different YouTube videos of Mr. Shinar at http://liquidsteeldrums.com.
