About Me

I'm a long-time resident of Madison, Wisconsin, hijacked from Ohio after thinking the UW might be a nice place for post-grad studies and who's spent most of his life dealing with science. But in the summer of '03, a casually sent email rekindled a long dormant passion for music that I had not felt in almost 25 years. Thanks to the kindness of Delilah of Visionary Dance, Seattle, I found myself suddenly emmersed in all things belly dancing.Now I am having the best time of my life, playing Arabic rhythms, alone, in groups with other drummers and instrumentalists, and most especially with the lovely local talent of amazing belly dancers this town has thoughtfully provided for me. (Anyone know how to put a BSG here??)Keep all worries and problems away from here, please. This is a place for staying in touch with old drumming and dancing friends, and hopefully a place to meet a lot of new ones!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people with a love of Middle Eastern Dance and the music that accompanies it. Dancers, other performers, any and all enthusiastic followers of the dance.
