Greetings list-friends,

Below is a revised list of our upcoming concerts. We’ve been having a
great time working up new material with Made Arnawa and Tjokorda
Padmini, two exceptional artists from ISI Denpasar. And we look
forward to having Dewa Berata with us too, in just a few days.
(Watching the beaming smiles of Dewa and Arnawa as they drum together
is quite a treat — with them, who needs stage lighting???)

Hope you can join us.

Wayne Vitale
