Funk, Winter, and Fun!

There is so much happening as Autumn turns into Winter!

Davey Norket playing Gumbo Night in Amsterdam with drummer Toon Omen earlier in November.
Theater/Cinema/Circus scholar John Towsen wrote a piece about the Great SL Mime Troupe's long-separated friend Mamako Yoneyama on his blog John Towsen's Craft and Art of Physical Comedy. There are a number of eye-poppingly GREAT articles there -- especially an eyewitness account of Charlie Chaplin's grandson James Thiérrée in performance.
I will regularly direct your attention to that wonderful site!

Mamako Yoneyama -- each movement has meaning!
