I love this story I told it last night at Espresyo Soul... our Artist Showcase.... still working on it to make it my own... thank you for exposing me to such a inspiring piece.. one that you obiviously own.
Short and Sweet. One of the teachers in the audience, used their camera phone to capture the energy of a live performance, in the vast auditorium, with pre-k-2nd grade students.
On October 14th, Oba visited Burley. many of our PreK-2nd grade classrooms enjoyed Oba's versions of the Three Little Pigs.

I think I might be coming to Chicago in November...and it may even be to the Celtic Knot that you mentioned!!! Things are still being planned but if I make it, maybe you could drop by? It'd be fantastic to meet you in person. I must upload some videos so you can see my style. I love your lyrical leaps and word crafting, you have the gift. I must find the Irish phrase for it; in ancient Ireland they spoke of the gifts of music, of food and of the tongue. You fall in the last category there.
