I’ve finished my poor man’s steady-cam and it works great! I’ll post a couple short clips to illustrate when I get a chance, maybe this coming weekend. Total cost: under $13. The link above is to a UVa student who designed and built the original, and then posted his plans. …
Yet another batch of great new tunes from Leah on Saturday! We have a performance coming up on Sunday the 22nd at which we’ll be playing all these pieces. I’ll post more details here shortly. Also, we now have an e-mail address for correspondence about the bass position we have …

Evie was a cutie-pie little bellydancer last night for Halloween, and made out like a bandit with the candy. (Not that she’ll be eating much of it.) Pictures will be forthcoming shortly; we went with my sister and her daughter, who went as Alice (in Wonderland). Eleya brought home Spider-Man …
