A school year comes to it's end. I had a great time with Naropa Afropop Ensemble - a really great bunch this year. They learned a lot (I think!) and sang and played like pros for the final concert Sunday night. They really lead themselves - I just helped them through the rough spots. And at the same time I was completely inspired and enlightened by taking a class with Bill Douglas. The legendary! I have heard about Bill's classes for so many years (from so many great musicians), it was a special treat to be there. Pushed me into places I don't normally go! Meanwhile, music is alive:
