Our trip around the world---OK not really we went to the festival of nations at Dollywood. We got to see all of the shows we wanted to see.... which was pretty amazing. We saw
the Jennifer Roland band from Nova Scotia--she sure can fiddle and dance. She was backed up by several men but i couldn't get their pics

It is apparently one of the newer instruments on the market. Makes a uniquely eerie kind of neat sound. It is a percussion instrument with something added. This group is from France and England... pretty cool http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(musical_instrument)
hear it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQXn5ba0aT8 Ann Marie--I thought of you several times during the day with all of the musical experiences we were having.
next was back to the Zambians--for a look or two---went to their show twice more actually
Mexico--Calpulli Dance Co---from NY????
Lithuania--Dainava--folk music--- the ladies had beautiful voices. 'Course we didn't understand it--but it was beautiful The dancing reminded me of American old folk dancesBelgium-Royal Stiltwalkers of Merchtem---- 12 feet tall. Didn't realize how little they had to move to get the stilts to move in great leaps. pretty cool

It wasn't a homerun - just scored going in from 3rd. still fun.
Wow - looks like you had a great time!
That is so cool!!! I will have to check out those links, the instruments look very neat, and I am curious to hear it (but it's late and T is in bed, lol). BTW, the job interview went very well, and unfortunately, that's all I can say right now. ;-) Which is really HARD for me! LOL
