“New Normal” - recording school shows, dinner in freezing temps…
Retrospective: Pandemic Days
A look back to that time when dinner was out in the cold right after recording some pieces because Covid winter. The heaters plus coats kept us nice and toasty, the food and drink yummy, and so much to catch up on with the extended fam - just what we needed!
A Journey of 25 Years
Retrospective: Pandemic Days
When Rina asked me if I would dance to our batch’s song - the song we sang at our graduation 25 years ago, my first thought was oh my, they are serious. Because it had been a running joke that we would dance flamenco at our Velada 🤣 For those who are not familiar with flamenco, the music and dance is steeped in centuries of tradition, an amalgamation of influences that the gypsies brought to Andalucia, the belly of flamenco. It sounds very different from our batch’s song ☺️
Well, I listened to the song and the dance came. So here it is, sharing it with you, 25 years older than when we first sang “Our Dowry”, beautifully written by Rina Marquez.
Silver Linings
Retrospective: Pandemic Days
We never know where our paths lead to... here we are dancing to the same song we sang at our high school graduation 25 years ago, the same sun shining on us 💛 Cheri in Moscow dancing ballet, me here in DC dancing flamenco. The last time I saw Cheri was when I visited her in Florence right after college... we were 21 years old!
August days
Welcome to my blog.
As August ends, I thought I would do a retrospective of the past year starting with this first post. It’s a way of remembering this time of big change all over our planet.
