Well, the NHK "Emergency Dance" went GREAT!! A big thank you so much to everyone who showed up, and especially Ishiguro-san for working so hard to make it happen. We had a great time; it was a lot of fun watching everyone being interviewed. All the good spirit and wonderful things about contra dance really showed through in people's responses. Everyone was so sincere and warm, and most of all, joyful. And when the interviewer joined the dance, everyone really made it be and look so easy for him. It went perfectly, so thank you everyone!
A special MERCI BEAUCOUP to Armelle for coming through at the last minute and playing wonderful European folk music for us! In case anyone would like to hear her perform more, she is playing again tomorrow, this Sunday 10/25 that is, at "Alphabet Avenue", which is a bar at Pontochou douri
and Shijo. The show starts at 9:00 PM and also features another accordionist named Ryotarou. The event is free of charge.
The NHK segment will air on the 10th of November sometime after 6PM on NHK channel 1. The name of the show is Kyo no ichinichi. (Unfortunately, this is 3 days AFTER our event in Fushimi, Zannen!)
Otsukaresama. See you all in Fushimi on the 7th and Takano on the 21st.
