OMG, how I have missed Salsa night at the Harem. What memories! Haven't you?

Your presence has been requested. I would like to inquire if there is interest in SKYMAMBO (or a hybrid group..hehe) reviving a Thursday Salsa night?

The Midwest Mixer that took place at the Energetic Soul Dance Studio this weekend (Oct. 4 & 5, 2008) might very well be over, but I’m sure that the lasting memories will remain with those who participated.

Due to prior engagements, I didn’t go to nearly as many workshops as I wanted.  However, the one that I did attend (‘Casino Style Turns’) was well worth my time.  From warm greetings by Rico and Leticia, to phenomenal instructions/demonstrations by duane and Maribel, this workshop has met all of my expectations.  I left the studio with a much deeper understanding of casino style dancing.

Can You Hear Me Now?

After experiencing the effects of loud music numerous times throughout my salsa & social life I decided to research the subject. When the music or vocals from DJs or bands is so loud that my ears hurt & my bones ache, the earplugs go in, I may politely ask the volume to be lowered when convenient (I thank all who have been kind enough to crank it down a notch or two), or leave the venue. A good (much younger-my daughter’s & son’s ages) friend responded, “We’re just getting older”, when I questioned, “Is it just me, or did the music get louder?” I smiled. At any rate, I found out some interesting & thought provoking facts during web surfing.

OK the September Social was anything but quiet. The music was loud and great, the crowd was big and the place was just plain jumping. But I've already moved on to October and this now seems quiet in comparison.

The first thing to note is the people who were not there.  Very noticably.  Shekyla and Jamin - the base of this operation - were busy over the weekend formalizing their committment to each other in Jamaica.  Contratulations to them!

Yep, it's true!

Our good friend George Gardiner showed me a website a few weeks ago that I instantly was hooked by, Pandora.com. Perhaps you've heard of it or even use it, If you do then you know what i'm talking about when it comes the variety and flexibility of this site.

What you can do at this site is create your own radio station. From the moment you get to the site and enter either a favorite group or genre of music, the music instantly starts playing. Then, you the user get to take over and adjust the station to what kind of music you want to hear.
