I am still recovering from the CD creation/release party tornado. The show/party went really, really, really great.

I did nothing.

My super talented and generous friends turned up with their gear, and just did their thing with me, and it was the party. The vibe was warm and great, and the show was excellent. We filled the tiny "theatre" space with a great energy.

I am deeply grateful to have so many fantastic friends -

Kamille, who pushed me into this, and planned the whole thing with me.
Nevik, who drove 11 hours from home to be there, and ended up being the integral part of the performance. (Christina was right!!)
Paul, Sarabeth, and Marnen, who just came and made a beautiful music, no questions asked.
Mel and Karin (and Jim and Adam!!), in their ever-laid-back humor, just came and gave me a great support.
Belladonna and Mavi, who drove all the way from DC, and brought their fabulous swords! on Mavi's birthday!
Sarah Skinner, who gave me encouragement, and her beautiful sensuality on stage.
Jaida, who took this very seriously and made me feel really special with her beautiful dancing.
Jesse, who ran in with his violin in between gigs to be a part of the show.
Pacita, who brought the "village dirt" with her great dance.
June Li, who was pretty much conned into performing her birimbau on stage.
Peter, who opened the show with his soulful piece of Africa.
and, Ashar, Dan, and Sabrina, who guarded the door and greeted all the people, smiling and ever-so-friendly.
and everyone who came to be a part of the show. I hope you had as much of a great time as I did.
and, oh yeah, Seido, for being supportive and proud of what I've done, and doing whatever I tell him to do.

I am really, really, lucky.
thank you all.
