Please thank Ben, Wallace and Tim once again for your wonderful performance here last night.  It is always my pleasure to bring performers to our small town that can bridge the gap to the rest of the world.  I’m especially pleased that so many families brought their young children who were all so attentive to what was undoubtedly a new and very different art form for them.  It is always good for people to open the door to something new but I think it is especially powerful for young children.  As I danced to Zakir Hussein playing tabla and tar on the Mondo Head album by Kodo, I thought of all of you playing and dancing love and understanding into our midwestern hearts.  Travel in peace and joy.
Light and Life, Love and Laughter,
