Dec 6 - African Ballet

Had a great opportunity today to become an African Ballet accompanist on my djembe.  My performance wasn't marvelous but it was great fun and worth every drop of sweat.  Man, did we sweat!  We're in a fairly large empty room with concrete floor, walls, ceiling and windows on one side.  The percussionists sat in the front and played the accompaniment for the Ballet rehearsal.  Those dancers REALLY worked!  And the drummers were right with them.  Lots of local people squeezed in to watch the rehearsal.  I was honored and tickled to be a part of the Guinean culture today.
