After 2 1/2 years of study at the Swaranjali Hindustani Classical
Music School I finally finished the first year, (level 1, Bal
Sangeet, by Pandit Vinayakbua Patwardhan). This by the way is a class
that young children do very well in. The instructor, Anjali Nandedkar
is a very patient dedicated teacher. www.swaranjalimusicschool.com
Dance Flurry
Was only able to go to the Saratoga Dance Flurry for the day. What a
wonderful time! Played dobro at some unlikely jams including Waltz,
Cape Breton and Old Timey. Cape Breton not that much of a stretch as
there has always been a strong C&W influence there. (But ow, the key
of A).

Also had a good workout on the fiddle and concertina, saw so many old
friends. Next year we're there for the weekend.
Then back to Saugerties to the Democratic Party party/dance with
Doctor Romo and the group "Too Much Fun" at the old Sach's Lodge -
Total Tennis. After not dancing at the Dance Flurry, Michelle
actually got me out on the floog for a few whirls and waltzes. Happy
Valentines!
