Yeah!
The Rak West Friday and Saturday night afterparties were amazing!
I'm sure we had over 100 dancers on Saturday night! Thanks to all the dancers!
I want to thank the Superband (Rakkasah All Star Band?) which was:
Pat - Oud/Vocals
Denise - Keyboard
Carmine (that's me!) - Cumbus and musician wrangling :)
Brad - Doumbek and Theramin (that space ship sounding thing)
Pete - Beat Box and Djembe
Melissa The Loud - Hurdy Gurdy (that wooden box thing that everyone is wondering what it is)
J.D. - Accordian
There was another doumbek and riq guy whose name I forget and a WHOLE BUNCH of GREAT doumbek players from my classes! They all played for 2 to 3 hours a night!!!
You all rock and I love my life!
.... also thanks to the US. Army (for showing up) and defending our freedom.... to party! :)
