I’m showing Anasma how to post something.

BQ had an awesome show last night!

Starting a new drumming class

I’ve been wanting to start teaching a regular doumbek class for awhile now and I’ve recently started brainstorming a time and location. It’ll probably end up being in the Astor Place area intially then I’ll see how the attendence goes. If it’s a popular class I may need to get another location. We’ll see how it goes and play that bit a little by ear.

Eventually I’d like to give student drummers an opportunity to perform at our weekly Je’bon show. I’ll post more details as they solidify. If you have any interest in a drum class and you’re in the NYC area drop me an email and I’ll make sure you posted.

Flamenco night at Je’bon

Forget everything you know about Flamenco because this week is Flamenco night at Je’bon. If the show wasn’t in the basement we’d throw everything you know about Flamenco out the window. Instead we’ll just drown it in sake. Our featured guest dancer, La Magdalena, will show us how it’s done in Spain and her students will also be perfectly flamenciful. As a special treat our friend Rob Mastrinni will be accompanying Pete and myself plus Nicole Rodriguez will be singing a song!

Kaeshi is finally back from Brazil and she’ll be rocking our tiny stage in some new Brazilian costumes. Speaking of costumes, she’ll be selling 5 beautiful Egyptian cabaret costumes at the show. Bring your checkbook and get your glitter on.

We’ll be selling tickets for the Bellyqueen 10-year Anniversary show on Oct. 10th. Buy them at Je’bon or buy your tickets online.

My new life starts now…

Maybe that’s overstating things but I hadn’t updated my site in about 10 years. What can I say, I enjoy letting the world know what I’m doing but HTML sucks. My new site used WordPress so it’ll be easier to manage and update on a regular basis. In the coming days I’ll be adding galleries of my professional work, samples of music from my band Djinn, possibly some writing samples and a host of things I haven’t thought of yet.
