The Singing Tinging Bowls of California

Neville reaches the desert town of Borrego Springs in Southern California and discovers one of the most surreal experiences he has had in the United States. On Palm Canyon Drive, he walked into a gallery where, randomly, the lady (below) was being introduced to the world of the Tibetan ‘Singing’ Bowl.

    Is this some sort of medieval-style barber shop?

      It certainly looks like it – a haircut with a ting

      I believe I may have had a few haircuts in the shape of a bowl in my shady past. Yet, I’ve never enjoyed this particular Tinnitus Tonsure trim. Sounds like I need to make an appointment for my new Borrego Springs pruning toot sweet! Road Trip!

        It would sure beat getting a haircut with some common, pedestrian plastic bowl. I’d say it’s worth the road trip, although probably best saved for the winter, at Borrego.

      Unfortunately, the lady in the photograph took all the time available, but I enjoyed the sight!

      That dude Neville can sing while he tings and ting when he sings. My recollection of his talents reminds me that he is a one man soulful zen band. I’ll even suggest that fellow is a goat yoga toga wearing Renaissance lad.

    I hope no goats were harmed to weave the tog.

      If Neville dares harm a goat, I’ll give you a sledge hammer to ding his copper ting cap. He’ll be hearing the mighty gongs of Winchester Cathedral even in his sleep!
