This woman has read too much and listened to too many teachings. She still thinks she is "doing" it although she claims to be "empty" and without a S/self. She calls herself ... Prajñaparmita. This is a Buddhist sacred wisdom text, occasionally personified as a goddess in East Asia. Someone who

yes, thinking back about it, it is rather funny. I looked forward to it every year. In the winter, I guess. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed dodge ball, and rope climbing and gymnastic stuff, but the week or so of square dancing really stood out for me! ---In

Yeah, I've read that he came from Concord, but the last time I was in that town was when I was in high school. La Salle High School just opened their school and invited our school band to play for them, since we were affiliated. I've tried playing Take Five on my saxophone with the band.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Unsquare Dance

You know Brubeck was from Concord? His dad had a ranch near town. I think they even have a park named after him. His first albums had Bill Smith playing clarinet. Bill came to the U of W to teach when I was there and a few years later ran into him on TM residence courses. On 12/22/2015

Square Dancing itself has really taken hold in meditating Fairfield as a subset. Club square dancing in America generally has been in long decline but what has happened is a marvel that square dancing has erupted [revived] more recently in Fairfield as a vehicle of social interaction. The rote

Typical Dave Brubeck, a jazz innovator. But that's a tough beat to dance with. But Earth, Wind and Fire in the 1970s created a different soul sound by using 6/4 time and 6/8 time. The sound is more understandable with a slow funk. But it's difficult to play, especially when the musicians
