African American Heritage

Today some of my friends were looking up their family crests and heritage and were so excited. They looked up my last name,Gilmore and found that it was Scottish and English and all that. They started ranting and raving about how I was Scottish and then I thought about it for a minute. African Americans got their names from their slave masters most of the time. Of course I didn't explain that, but it's true. I am trying to learn more about my heritage because it is very important to know and it's hard because I am African American. If anyone has any ideas as to how I can come up with this information please let me know.

SO EXCITED

Hey guys so I just found out that I have permission to learn how to play the PARADE SNARE! I'm so excited! The other day when I went to a pre season football game(high school not NFL) I heard the drums and I was like dude! All I really heard were the snare drums and how cool all their rythyms sounded. I was physced. I think there were around 65 people playing instruments and I was so like YEA! THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO! I might even decide to be in band. As some of you may know I play the drum(djembe), so I have musical backround. I'm excited! HAHA! YEA! http://http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/senior1/bluesnare1.JPG
