Burning Man for buses...

   Last winter there were a couple of Airstreams camped near us in the
California desert...well, too near, actually.   These were inhabited by
some congo drummers...Not often, but at infrequent times, they would take
out their drums and go.....to the chagrin of everyone within about 10
square miles.   They "were" pretty good, but after an hour or so at 11pm,
it got a bit old.   They also has a  neon light show.....just what you want
to see on a starry desert night...but they had a quiet generator....
