Good evening music and dance aficionados. In addition to the sun , spring brings a cournicopia of mixing cultures and reacqaintance. Bugs , birds , and plants are starting to peek out from their winter nap and spread songs of love throughout our community.   We are captivated by these very opportunities in our own realms and the parallels are infectious. Lots of artists have tuned up and their mix of soulful sonatas is waiting to invade our spirits. With respect for all living beings and the true blessings of life, we rejoice!!
