There was also a jam session with occasional singing. Some students brought music to share while others learnt to improvise when as the chords were announced - It turned out that ¼ jar of nuts makes a great makeshift rumba shaker! This was an afternoon filled with music, fun, friendship, laughter and love of our instructor. eTracks (mp3) album availble online at: Lou Jacklich |
